My assumption was that the strength of SolrCloud is the distribution of leader and replica within the Cloud and make the Cloud somewhat failsafe. But after setting up SolrCloud with a collection I have both, leader and replica, on the same shard. And this should be failsafe?
o.a.s.h.a.CollectionsHandler Invoked Collection Action :create with params replicationFactor=2&routerName=compositeId&collection.configName=boss& maxShardsPerNode=1&name=boss&router.name=compositeId&action=CREATE&numShards=5 boss ------ shard1 ----- server2:7574 | |-- server2:8983 (leader) | --- shard2 ----- server1:8983 | |-- server5:7575 (leader) | --- shard3 ----- server3:8983 (leader) | |-- server4:8983 | --- shard4 ----- server1:7574 (leader) | |-- server4:7574 | --- shard5 ----- server3:7574 (leader) |-- server5:8983 >From my point of view, if server2 is going to crash then shard1 will disappear >and 1/5th of the index is missing. What is your opinion? Regards Bernd
