Given that Solr does not support distributed IDF, adding a shard without
balancing the number of documents could seriously skew your scoring. If
you are okay with that, then the next question is what happens if you
download the clusterstate.json from ZooKeeper, and add another entry,
along the lines of "shard3":{}, then upload it again, what would happen
then?My theory is that the next host you start up would become the first node of shard3. Worth a try (unless someone more knowledgeable tells us otherwise!)
