Hey,
I have have the same question on freenode channel , people answered me ,
but I believe that I still got doubts. Just because I never had approach
to such data store technologies before it makes me hardly understand
what is exactly is replica and shard in solr. I believe once I
understand what exactly are these two, then I would be able to see the
difference.
According to English dictionary replica is exact copy of something,
which sounds like a true to me, but what is shard then here and how is
it connected with all this context ? Can someone explain this in brief
and give some examples ?
Thank you in advance
