Noble Paul commented on SOLR-4808:
----------------------------------

We need to redefine replicationFactor as the minimum no:of replicas for a given 
shard. The cluster will have atleast those many no:of replicas for that given 
shard. If the number falls below , that the overseer should attempt to bring 
the number upto that.

What if a node is asked to join a shard which has enough replicas according to 
the replicationFactor? It should be allowed to do so but the replicationFactor 
should remain same till it is changed through the cluster admin command.

replicationFactor value must be persisted per shard . We should be able to 
manipulate the value
 * per shard : relevant for custom sharding
 * entire cluster : for hash based setup the user would just update it cluster 
wide
 * shard.keys values : for composite id collections it make sense to change the 
value by providing just the keys and the command can identify the appropriate 
shards
                
> Persist and use replication factor at Collection and Shard level
