Thanks Otis for the response. 1. Is there any performance impact if the client is invoking the solr index using the VIP url instead of individual shard URLs? If the default sharding of SOLR is based on uniqueId.hashcode % numServers, how does the SOLR identify which Shard to get the data if client is querying by any name/value of a document(Unique Id is not passed in the URL). Is ZooKeeper doing this logic of finding out which shard to go and get the data? .Sorry to go ask more into details but would like to know.
2. I have followed the steps of http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud#Getting_Started and set up multiple shards in my local box and did index some documents. But I am still not clear on the index and document file system structure, I mean how would I verify if the data is really distributed. Can you please point me to some good documentation of the folder structure of where the index files will be created in each shard. When I indexed few documents by pointing to one shard, I saw few files getting created under apache-solr-4.0.0\example\solr\mycollection\data\index. Is this the complete index files location ?
