Re: solr 4.4 splitshard query

[Kelly, Frank]

Whenever I hit a problem with SPLITSHARDS it's usually because I run out of 
disk as effectively your doubling the disk space used by the shard.

However for large indexes (and 40GB is pretty large) take a look at 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5324
If that's the problem one possible workaround is to reduce the number of 
replicas before splitting the shard - although that will likely increase your 
query times even more.

    I have few questions:
    
    1.  Currently index size is around 40GB.
    2.  Right now it has single shard - we observe query times high.
    3.  Does SPLITSHARD helps here with query times?  Since docs gets
    distributed 
    
    Please advise..
    
    Thanks,
    Ash
