CloudSolrServer : Could not find collection : gettingstarted

Question

I'm getting following exception while trying to upload document on SolrCloud using CloudSolrServer.

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Could not find collection : gettingstarted
    at org.apache.solr.common.cloud.ClusterState.getCollection(ClusterState.java:162)
    at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.CloudSolrServer.directUpdate(CloudSolrServer.java:305)
    at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.CloudSolrServer.request(CloudSolrServer.java:533)
    at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.request.AbstractUpdateRequest.process(AbstractUpdateRequest.java:124)
    at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServer.add(SolrServer.java:116)
    at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServer.add(SolrServer.java:102)
    at Test.addDocumentSolrCloud(Test.java:265)
    at Test.main(Test.java:284)

The collection exists and I can query using Solr admin. And Also able to upload document using HttpSolrServer (single instance - non cloud mode).

I'm using the following code snippet

CloudSolrServer server = new CloudSolrServer("localhost:2181");
            server.setDefaultCollection("gettingstarted");
            SolrInputDocument doc = new SolrInputDocument();
            doc.addField("id", id);
            doc.addField("name", name);

            server.add(doc);

            server.commit();

Not sure what I'm missing. My Zookeeper is running externally on same machine where both solr cloud nodes are

I forget to provide URL how I can access the collection using Solr admin http://localhost:8983/solr/gettingstarted/select?q=*:* — Adnan, Mar 18 '15 at 16:07

I'm able to figure out the problem. In fact the cluster/cloud was configure rightly but SolrJ-4.x can't be used with Solr 5.0.0; particularly the Cloud Solr API; besides cloud the other queries using HttpSolrServer were producing the results.

I switched to SolrJ-5.0.0 and modified the snippet as below:

CloudSolrClient cloudSolrClient = new CloudSolrClient("localhost:2181") ;
cloudSolrClient.setDefaultCollection("gettingstarted");

SolrInputDocument doc = new SolrInputDocument();
doc.addField("id", id);
doc.addField("name", name);

cloudSolrClient.add(doc);
cloudSolrClient.commit();

The API's are changed/refactored
