SplitShardCmd assumes that its main phase (when the Lucene index is being split) always executes on the local file system of the shard leader, and indeed the ShardSplitCmd.checkDiskSpace() checks the local file system’s free disk space - even though in reality in your case the actual data is written to the HDFS Directory so it (almost) doesn’t affect the local FS…
Please file a JIRA request to improve this. For now you simply have to make sure that you have at least 2x the index size of free disk space available on the shard leader. > On 16 Sep 2019, at 18:15, Joe Obernberger <joseph.obernber...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi All - added a couple more solr nodes to an existing solr cloud cluster > where the index is in HDFS.
