Toke, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I believe I will be working with a write once archive. However, my understanding is that all shards are defined up front, with the option to split later.
Can you describe, or point me to documentation, on how to create shards one at a time?

If your corpus only contains static content (e.e. log files or a write-once archive), you can create shards one at a time and optimize them. This lowers requirements for your searchers. - Toke Eskildsen, State and University Library, Denmark
