Hi Lance, thanks for your explanation.
As far as I know in distributed search i have to tell Solr what other shards it has to query. So, if I want to query a specific core, present in all my shards, i could tell Solr this by using the shards-param plus specified core on each shard. Using SolrCloud's distrib=true feature (it sets all the known shards automatically?), a collection should consist only of one type of core-schema, correct? How does SolrCloud knows that shard_x and shard_y are replicas of eachother (I took a look at the possibility to specify alternative shards if one is not available)? If it does not know that they are replicas of eachother, I should use the syntax of specifying alternative shards for failover due to performance-reasons, because querying 2 identical and available cores seems to be wasted capacity, no?
