I wasn't able to find examples/anything via google so thought I'd ask:
Say I want to implement a solution using distributed searches with many "shards" in SOLR 1.3.0. Also, say there are too many shards to pass in via the URL (dozens, hundreds, whatever) Is there a way to specify in solrconfig.xml (or elsewhere) a list of the shard URLs to use? I saw references to a shards.txt but no info on it. I also saw bits of info that suggested that there MIGHT be another way to do this. Any info appreciated on doing this sort of distributed search. thx
