Hi Joseph, I think that if your clients talk to the VIP and not directly to Solr via http://search-lucene.com/jd/solr/solr-solrj/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/impl/CloudSolrServer.html you lose the ability to hit leaders directly (CloudSolrServer knows about them), which translates to a bit more work for Solr.
You should be able to specify just the # of replicas and shards and not worry about how sharding will be done. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3894 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2592 http://search-lucene.com/?q=index+query+routing+shards&fc_project=Solr Otis -- Search Analytics - http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html Performance Monitoring - http://sematext.com/spm/index.html On Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 12:07 PM, joseph_12345 <hellojoseph_12...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I have looked at the below post URL and it really helps me a lot. > > http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SolrCloud-AutoSharding-td4011834.html > > But I have few questions. > > We are exploring SolrCloud to index millions of product details.
