Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-2592:
------------------------------------
bq. isn't it straight forward when we say shard on an arbitrary field
No, I think that makes things very difficult. Every place where you used to
have "id" you now need to pass "id" and this other configurable field (or maybe
even more than one). That puts much more of a burden on clients trying to talk
to solr since "id" is no longer good enough to efficiently identify where a
document lives in the cluster.

> If the data in a cloud can be partitioned on some criteria (say range, hash,
> attribute value etc) It will be easy to narrow down the search to a smaller
> subset of shards and in effect can achieve more efficient search.
