Dynamic adding of shards

[Ankita Patil]

Hi,
One way to add new shards is to add them in the shard parameter in the
solrconfig.xml file. But this will require to restart the solr server
everytime you add a new shard.
I wanted to know if it is possible to dynamically add shards without having
to restart the solr server. If yes how?

Thanks in advance.
