https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4078 will be useful - that should make it in 4.3.
Until then, you want to get that node out, and you need the new node to be assigned to the same shard. I guess I might try: Add your new node - explicitly tell it what shard to join by setting the shard id. Start a new tmp node and set the host value to the old node that is gone. This will work, though other nodes obviously won't be able to talk to this tmp node - it will think it's the missing node though. Now send a core unload command to it - that should cleanly remove it from the cluster. Stop/remove the tmp node. - Mark On Feb 5, 2013, at 12:22 PM, Mike Schultz <mike.schu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just to clarify, I want to be able to replace the down node with a host with > a different name.
