Here's what I'd do

from the old 2-shard collection

That way you have a chance to verify that the merged collection is OK
before deleting the old 2-shard collection.

Deleting a shard in solr 4.10.4

[Rachid Bouacheria]

Hi All,

I have a collection that has 2 shards. And I am finding that the 2 shards
are unnecessary.
So I would like to delete one of the shard without losing its data.

Illustration:
Before : Collection has shard1 and Shard 2
After: Collection No shard but the data contains Shard 1 and Shard 2

I would think that someone must have done this already. So I would
appreciate any input.

Thank you!
