This document discusses scaling search with Apache SolrCloud. It provides an introduction to Solr and how scaling search was difficult in previous versions due to manually managing shards and replicas. SolrCloud makes scaling easier by utilizing ZooKeeper for centralized configuration and management across a cluster. Nodes can be added to a SolrCloud cluster and will automatically be configured and assigned as shards or replicas. This allows for effortless scaling, fault tolerance, and load balancing. The document promotes upcoming features in Solr 4 and demonstrates indexing and querying in a SolrCloud cluster.
