Erm, that doesn't seem to make sense. Seems like you are talking about *merging* shards.
Say you had two shards, 3m docs each: shard1: 3m docs shard2: 3m docs If you split shard1, you would have: shard1_0: 1.5m docs shard1_1: 1.5m docs shard2: 3m docs You could, of course, then split shard2. You could also split shard1 into three parts instead, if you preferred: shard1_0: 1m docs shard1_1: 1m docs shard1_2: 1m docs shard2: 3m docs Upayavira On Sun, Aug 2, 2015, at 12:25 AM, Nagasharath wrote: > If my current shard is holding 3 million documents will the new subshard > after splitting also be able to hold 3 million documents? > If that is the case After shard splitting the sub shards should hold 6 > million documents if a shard is split in to two.
