U can do the same simply by something like that http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&collection=wikingram&name=ANY_NAME_HERE&shard=shard1
The main part is "shard=shard1", when you create core with existing shard (core name doesn't matter, we use "collection_shard1_replica2", but u can do whatever u want), this core becomes a replica and copies data from leading shard. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Add-replica-on-shards-tp4193659p4193732.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
