Noble Paul commented on SOLR-4221: ---------------------------------- Ideally a user would want new shards to go to new nodes so that the existing nodes are not overloaded. Now it is not possible to achieve it. If I start a node before t5he command is issued it would just join some random shard and it is taken up. If I issue the CREATESHARD command before adding nodes it will/should fail saying insufficient nodes . Actually, it is relevant for SPLITSHARDas well. Now the new shards created will go and live in an already loaded node. The proposed behavior is this. If I startup a node w/o specifying the collection , it would just be a part of the live nodes and no shard and collection should be assigned to it. So when a new shard has to be created , the command can lookup and see if there are unutilized live nodes and it can be assigned there > Custom sharding > --------------- > > Key: SOLR-4221 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4221 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Yonik Seeley > Assignee: Noble Paul > Attachments: SOLR-4221.patch > > > Features to let users control everything about sharding/routing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
