Use the Split shard API to split an existing shard. It splits an
existing shard into 2.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Collections+API#CollectionsAPI-api3
You can then split the sub-shards. One thing to note though is that
the Admin UI still doesn't comprehend the difference between active
and inactive shards. You can look at the cluster state to get a better
picture of what shards are active.
Another thing to note would be to use the async mode while splitting a
rather big shard. That would help you overcome the internal timeout
issues of a long running task.
