Hi ,
Trying to place multiple smaller indexes in one collection (as we read solrcloud performance degrades as number of collections increase). We are exploring two ways 1) Placing each index on a single shard of a collection In this case placing documents for a single index is manual and automatic rebalancing not done by solr 2) Solr routing composite router with a prefix . In this case solr doesn’t place all the docs with same prefix in one shard , so searches becomes distributed. But shard rebalancing is taken care by solr. We did a small perf test with both these set up. We saw the performance for the first case (placing an index explicitly on a shard ) is better. Has anyone done anything similar. Can you please share your experience. Thanks, Raji
