Sami Siren commented on SOLR-3088: ---------------------------------- bq. and numShards as a collection property (rather than just a creation property) doesn't make sense. Yeah I agree. I just got confused when you mentioned (in the original issue text) that something would have to be stored under /collections in zk. So to summarize the scope of this issue once more: Initiating the cluster/collection from the event of starting the first node: The first node that joins the cluster will pass the desired slice count (numShards System Property) and that number will be used to generate the placeholders (slices containing 0 shards) for the specific collection in cloudstate. After that everything works pretty much as it is now, with one exception: overseer does not look at the system property for determining how many slices there should be but uses the slice count (the placeholders in the beginning) from cloudstate. > create shard placeholders > ------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-3088 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3088 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: SolrCloud > Reporter: Yonik Seeley > Fix For: 4.0 > > > When creating a new collection, a placeholder for each shard should be > created. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
