Hello all, I am trying to set up a SolrCloud deployment consisting of 5 boxes each of which is running Solr under jetty. A zookeeper ensemble is running separately on 3 of the boxes.
Each Solr instance has 2 cores, one of which is sharded across the five boxes and the other not sharded at all because it is a much smaller index. numShards is set to 5 in the command to start jetty, -DnumShards=5. It turns out that getting this configuration to work is not as easy as I had hoped. According to JIRA SOLR-3186, "If you are bootstrapping a multi-core setup, you currently have to settle for the same numShards for every core." Unfortunately that JIRA was closed without any implementation. Is this limitation still in effect? Does the new core discovery mode offer anything in this regard? Is there any way at all to deploy two cores with different numShards? How hard would it be to implement this? Is it compatible with the architecture of Solr 5?
