> For each shard in a distributed request, Solr currently routes each request
> randomly via
> [ShufflingReplicaListTransformer|https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/handler/component/ShufflingReplicaListTransformer.java]
> to a particular replica. In setups with replication factor >1, this normally
> results in a situation where subsequent requests (which one would hope/expect
> to leverage cached results from previous related requests) end up getting
> routed to a replica that hasn't seen any related requests.
> The problem can be replicated by issuing a relatively expensive query (maybe
> containing common terms?). The first request initializes the
> {{queryResultCache}} on the consulted replicas. If replication factor >1 and
> there are a sufficient number of shards, subsequent requests will likely be
> routed to at least one replica that _hasn't_ seen the query before. The
> replicas with uninitialized caches become a bottleneck, and from the client's
> perspective, many subsequent requests appear not to benefit from caching at
> all.
