Hi, i am creating several cores using the following script. I use this for testing SolrCloud and to learn about the distribution of multiple collections.
max=500 > for ((i=2; i<=$max; ++i )) ; > do > curl " > http://solrinstance1:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=collection$i&collection=collection$i&collection.configName=myconfig > " > done I've setup a SolrCloud with 2 shards which are each replicated by 2 other instances I start. When I first start the installation I have the default "collection1" in place which is sharded over shard1 and shard2 with 2 leader nodes and 2 nodes which replicate the leaders. When I run this script above which calls the Coreadmin on one of the shards, all the collections are created on only this shard without a replica. So e.g. "collection8":{"shard1":{"solrinstance1:8983_solr_collection8":{ "shard":"shard1", "leader":"true", "state":"active", "core":"collection8", "collection":"collection8", "node_name":"solrinstance1:8983_solr", "base_url":"http://solrinstance1:8983/solr"}}} I always thought, that via zookeeper these collections are sharded and replicated or do I need to call on each node the create core action? But then I need to know about these nodes, right? Thanks & regards Daniel
