I currently have a SolrCloud with 3 shards + replicas, it is holding 130M documents and the r3.large hosts are running out of memory. As it's on 4.2 there is no shard splitting, I will have to reindex to a 4.3+ version.
If I had that feature would I need to split each shard into 2 subshards resulting in a total of 6 subshards, in order to keep all shards relatively equal? And since host memory is the problem I'd be migrating subshards to new hosts. So it seems I'd be going from 6 hosts to 12. Are these assumptions correct or is there a way to avoid doubling my host count? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Does-shard-splitting-double-host-count-tp4189595.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
