FWIW, you can pass ranges of arbitrary number of shards to SPLITSHARD. Thus
you can split on any number of shards.

You may be confusing the number of shards you configure and how they
expand using the SPLITSHARD command. That command creates two shards
where there was one before, so in that sense Solr collections can grow
by a factor of 2. But that doesn't mean anything about the number of
shards you started wi

I don’t know
Hi
I was recently told that ideally the number of shards in a SOLR cluster should
be equal to a power of 2. If this is indeed a best practice, then what is the
rationale behind this recommendation? ThanksImad
