I have a sharding question.




We have a collection (one shard, two replicas, currently running Solr6.6) which 
sometimes becomes unresponsive on the non-leader node. It is 214 gigabytes, and 
we were wondering whether there is a rule of thumb how large to allow a core to 
grow before sharding. I have a reference in my notes from the 2015 Solr 
conference in Austin "baseline no more than 100 million docs/shard" and "ideal 
shard-to-memory ratio, if at all possible index should fit into RAM, but other 
than that it gets really specific really fast"; but that was several versions 
ago, and so I wanted to ask whether these suggestions have been recalculated.

Thanks
