Hey All, If you don't specify numShards at the start, then you can do custom hashing, because Solr will just write the document to whatever shard you send it to.
However, when I don't specify numshards, I'm having trouble creating more than one shard. It makes one shard and the others I add are simply replicas. Here's the params I'm using to start http://pastebin.com/818SguiA . Am I missing something? I only want custom hashing because before when I had it do the automatic hashing, I was posting all documents to one shard, and then it would forward them to the right place. I want to add them to different shards to distribute the load, so that it's not just one of them handling the forwarding. It seems silly to add them across all the shards and then have each shard forward them to a potentially different shard based on the hash. Thanks!
