Thanks for your detailed feedback Andzej! >From what I understood, SOLR-1301 becomes obsolete ones Solr becomes cloud-ready, right?

If I got a constant number of shards, the doc will be published to the same shard again and again. i.e.: 10 % numShards(5) = 2 -> doc 10 will be indexed at shard 2. A few days later the rest of the cluster is available, now it looks like 10 % numShards(10) -> 1 -> doc 10 will be indexed at shard 1... and what about the older version at shard 2? I am no expert when it comes to cloudComputing and the other stuff. If you can point me to one or another reference where I can read about it, it would help me a lot, since I only want to understand how it works at the moment. The problem with Solr is its lack of documentation in some classes and the lack of capsulating some very complex things into different methods or extra-classes. Of course, this is because it costs some extra time to do so, but it makes understanding and modifying things very complicated if you do not understand whats going on from a theoretical point of view. Since the cloud-feature will be complex, a lack of documentation and no understanding of the theory behind the code will make contributing back very, very complicated.
