I shouldn't be configuring the replication handler? I didn't know that! The documentation describes how to do it, e.g., for Solr 4.6
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Index+Replication Now I'm evenmore confused than ever. If a replication handler isn't defined, then I get "replication handler isn't defined" errors in the logs, and the added core fails to do anything. It seems like such a simple task: create 1 sharded and 1 unsharded core. But nothing I've tried so far works. Why can't numShards be a property of the core???
