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... :)
