Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-565:
-----------------------------------

DistributedSearch was designed such that a custom component could be developed 
that set "shards" dynamically based on it's topology knowledge.  If the main 
point of this patch is to move "shards" from solrconfig.xml to a separate file, 
I'm not sure it's worth it.... that could perhaps be done with  an XML entity.

If there are separate changes to Distributed Search or ResponseBuilder  that 
will make it easier to write a component to do this, then we should consider 
those changes separately.

> 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.
