I see there is a lot of discussions about "micro-sharding", I'll have to
read them.  I'm on an older version of solr and just use master index
replicating out to a farm of slaves.  It always seemed like sharding
causes a lot of background traffic to me when I read about it, but I
never tried it out.  Thanks for the heads up on that topic...  :)

To be able to scale w/o re-indexing. Also often referred to as
"micro-sharding".
