Thanks Erick. I had replicationFactor=1 in my old collection and going to have the same config for the new collection. When I create a new collection with number of Shards =20 and max shards per node = 1, the shards are going to start on 20 hosts out of my 25 hosts Solr cluster. When you say "get each shard's index to the corresponding shard on your new collection", do you mean the following?
shard1_replica1 -> core_node1 (old collection) shard1_replica1 -> has to be core_node1 (new collection) (I don't have this mapping for the old collection as the collection no longer exists!!)
