In case anyone else runs into this, I've managed to make it work. I didn't notice in the ticket discussion that the specific feature is enabled when min_rf >=2, I was setting min_rf=1. It goes without saying that you should also have at least 2 replicas in your SolrCloud configuration. The actual code I've used to make it return "rf" is
UpdateRequest req = new UpdateRequest(); req.setParam(UpdateRequest.MIN_REPFACT, "2"); req.add(doc); NamedList response = solrServer.request(req); -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SolrCloud-use-of-min-rf-through-SolrJ-tp4164966p4167250.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
