Hi, At the moment, partitioning with solrcloud is hash based on uniqueid. What I'd like to do is have custom partitioning, e.g. based on date (shard_MMYY).
I'm aware of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2592, but after a cursory look it seems that with the latest patch, one might end up with multiple partitions in the same shard, perhaps all (e.g. if 2 or more partition hash values end up in the same range), which I'd not want. Has anyone else implemented custom shard partitioning for solrcloud ? I think the answer is to have the partition class itself pluggable (default to hash of unique_key as now), but not sure how to pass the solrConfig pluggable partition class through to ClusterState (which is in solrj not core)? any advice? Cheers, Dan
