Error: Unknown collection - SolrCloud __init__

Hi! I’m having an error when trying to create a new SolrCloud object.

File "/home/patodb/Repos/hdfs_solr_indexer/indexer.py", line 23, in __init__
    self.solr = SolrCloud(zk, collection)
File "/home/patodb/Repos/hdfs_solr_indexer/pysolr.py", line 1148, in __init__
    url = zookeeper.getRandomURL(collection)
File "/home/patodb/Repos/hdfs_solr_indexer/pysolr.py", line 1289, in getRandomURL
    return random.choice(self.getHosts(collname, only_leader=False)) + "/" + collname
File "/home/patodb/Repos/hdfs_solr_indexer/pysolr.py", line 1255, in getHosts
    raise SolrError("Unknown collection: %s", collname)
pysolr.SolrError: (u'Unknown collection: %s', 'boletines_cba')

The error is raised in the getHosts method of the ZooKeeper class. Debugging the program I found that self.collections and self.aliases are not being initialized correctly when creating the ZooKeeper object. Both variables have the default value {} at the time getRandomURL() is executed and I don’t see a workflow where these values are overriden.

The Zookeeper object (from Kazoo) seems fine, it resolves both the urls and chroot correctly. The server is running and the collection exists. Any ideas about why is this happening?

Regards,

Are there plans to release the fix in #187 ? Solr is currently at version 6 while the pull request says it supports 5 and master only supports 4. Most of this library is great when dealing with a single instance of Solr, but it is unusable with Solr in cloud mode. I tried running #187 and it did work, but it’s 45 commits and two minor versions behind master and I don’t want to miss out on those changes. This is the only Python Solr client I could find that is aware of Zookeeper so I would much rather use it than one of the other options
