Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-7955:
-----------------------------------
Defaulting to number of live nodes in cluster would probably do. Then we'd need
to document that manual ADDREPLICA calls are necessary to achieve redundancy if
you start off with one node and later add nodes.
Ideally we should re-visit the former vision of being able to configure a
*desired state* for a collection, which the cluster (Overseer) will try to
achieve. Say you configure {{replicationFactor=3&stateType=desired}} in a
one-node cluster. Then you add nodes, and the Overseer issues ADDREPLICA
commands until condition is reached. Next, we could allow variables/functions
instead of absolute numbers, i.e. {{replicationFactor=nodeCount()}}. Of course
there are many issues to such an approach too, e.g. actions should probably
only trigger N seconds after the last add/remove command.
