Hi, Going to start playing with SolrCloud soon, and have a few questions which is not answered on http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud
a) I want to have multiple cores on the same server, which may be part of the same collection http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=core1&collection=collection1&shard=shardA http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=core2&collection=collection1&shard=shardB I now want to send some documents to shard A and shard B. In the Wiki, the update example addresses the collection: http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/update But what happens then? Which of the shards will the document end up in? Isn't the correct way to address the core directly (http://localhost:8983/solr/core1/update)? But how does SolrCloud know whether "core1" is a core and not a collection when updating and searching? b) Let's say I have ZK setup with a 2x2 grid with 2 shards each having one replica. Now I want to add a 3rd shard, bootstrapped form existing folder with config and data/index. How do I include this into the cluster? Is it enough to run a CREATE command on the master: http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=core3&collection=collection1&shard=shardC ...and the corresponding replica cores will be setup automatically? -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com
