Otis Gospodnetic commented on SOLR-303:
---------------------------------------
Shard is what you call a small(er) index that is a part of a large(r) cluster
of indices. These smaller shards together form one large logical index.
See http://www.scribd.com/doc/312186/THE-GOOGLE-CLUSTER-ARCHITECTURE
I wish Nutch used the same (shard) nomenclature instead of using "segments", so
there is no confusion with Lucene index segments.... but that's another issue.
