Just starting to get into SolrCloud using 4.0.0-ALPHA and am very impressed so far ...
I have a 12-shard index with ~104M docs with each shard having 1-replica (so 24 Solr servers running) Using the Query form on the Admin panel, I issue the MatchAllDocsQuery (*:*) and each time I send the request the value for numFound in the result is different. It's always close but not exactly the same as I would expect? Can anyone shed some light on this issue? I also tried a real query, such as "#olympics lochte" and same thing - different numFound each time. The first page of actual docs returned is the same so maybe I should just ignore the numFound issue? Note that while experiencing this behavior, I am not adding any docs to the index and all docs have been committed with waitFlush=true and waitSearcher=true on the commit. Also, not doing soft commits at this point. In addition, after having committed all 104M docs, I hit the optimize button the panel so I have only 1 segment. In other words, the index is not being updated and has been optimized at this point.
