Mark Miller commented on SOLR-3088:
-----------------------------------

I've actually been working on that right now because I need it for a test I'm 
writing.

What I realized pretty much immediately was that I needed a way to pass that 
param down the chain so that the overseer eventually sees it. You should double 
check what I have done probably. What I found is that it seems only the 
overseer looks at the numShards sys prop - so it won't matter if its set on 
other nodes?

Anyway, what I settled for at the moment is, you can set the numShards on the 
cloud descriptor - its not stored, so you may not always get it back in the 
future, it's just a startup param. Then num_shards is also registered as part 
of the core state in zk - again it's only needed once though. This lets us 
specify numShards per core though - which is kind of what you need to support 
it in CoreAdminHandler.

Because the numShard will stay in the core_state, I'm not yet sure how that 
will work if you end up being able to reshard by starting a core with a 
different number...
