Can I just start by saying that this was AMAZING. :-) When I asked the question, I certainly did not expect this level of details.
And I vote on the cake diagram for WIKI as well. Perhaps, two with the first one showing the trivial collapsed state of single collection/shard/replica/core. The trivial one will also help to explain why the example is now called 'collection1'. I think I followed everything, except for just added term of 'index'. Isn't that the same as 'core'? Or can we have several indexes in one core? Regards, Alex.
