Hi I am new to solr. i have a doubt in understanding difference between core and collection. >As far as i understand, cores can be created when solr is run in local mode and collections in solrCloud. Can you please help me if i am wrong. >And why do we shard a collection? i read like - When your data is too large for one node, you can break it up and store it in sections by creating one or more shards. Each is a portion of the logical index, or core, and it's the set of all nodes containing that section of the index. But when indexing a document in one shard,it gets reflected in every shard of that collection. But main intention of creating shard is to break up the data. >Why do we replicate a collection?
