Hi,
Simple question, I hope.
Using the nightly build of 4.1 from yesterday (Jan 8, 2013), I started 6 Solr
nodes.
I issued the following command to create a collection with 3 shards, and a
replication factor=2. So a total of 6 shards.
curl
'http://localhost:11000/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=consumer1&numShards=3&replicationFactor=2'
The end result was the following shard distribution:
shard1 - node #13, #15 (with #13 as leader)
shard2 - node #15, #16 (with #15 as leader)
shard3 - node #11, #16 (with #11 as leader)
Since I am using the default value of 1 for 'maxShardsPerNode', I was surprised
to see that Solr created two shards on instance #16. I expected that each Solr
node (there are 6) would each be assigned one shard from the collection. Is
this a bug or expected behavior?
Thanks,
James
