I am starting a new project and one of the requirements is that Solr must scale 
to handle increasing load (both search performance and index size).

My understanding is that one way to address search performance is by adding 
more replicas.

I am more concerned about handling a growing index size.  I have already been 
given some good input on this topic and am considering a shard splitting 
approach, but am more focused on a rebalancing approach that includes defining 
many shards up front and then moving these existing shards on to new Solr 
servers as needed.  Plan to experiment with this approach first.

Before I got too deep, I wondered if anyone has any tips or warnings on these 
approaches, or has scaled Solr in a different manner.

Thanks,
Matt
