Hi, Simple question, I hope.
Using the nightly build of 4.1 from yesterday (Jan 8, 2013), I started 6 Solr nodes. I issued the following command to create a collection with 3 shards, and a replication factor=2. So a total of 6 shards. curl 'http://localhost:11000/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=consumer1&numShards=3&replicationFactor=2' The end result was the following shard distribution: shard1 - node #13, #15 (with #13 as leader) shard2 - node #15, #16 (with #15 as leader) shard3 - node #11, #16 (with #11 as leader) Since I am using the default value of 1 for 'maxShardsPerNode', I was surprised to see that Solr created two shards on instance #16. I expected that each Solr node (there are 6) would each be assigned one shard from the collection. Is this a bug or expected behavior? Thanks, James
