I don't know if this behaviour makes sense but in my IMHO the last replica of a shard should be removed only by the DELETESHARD command ...
If you don't not notice about this behaviour, the result is the deletion of the whole shard, and as a consequence, the deletion of the shard in the clusterstate.json ... with all the pain associated. ----- Best regards -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/DELETEREPLICA-command-shouldn-t-delete-de-last-replica-of-a-shard-tp4239054.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
