Jayson Minard commented on SOLR-565:
------------------------------------

Selecting shards by sets is not overly fancy.  You basically allow shards to be 
specified by location, then you allow shard sets to be specified including 
those sets.  You reference the set (by default there is an "All" set) during 
the query and you are off to the races.

Shard selection by sets covers a lot of ground in terms of bringing in more use 
cases without adding that much more complexity.  Really, not much complexity, 
just a bit more code.

> A component that will remove the need for calling clients to provide the 
> shards parameter for
> a distributed search. 
> As systems grow, it's better to manage shards with in solr, rather than 
> managing each client.
