Is it currently possible to have per-shard replication factor? A bit of background on the use case...
If you are hashing content to shards by a known factor (lets say date ranges, 12 shards, 1 per month) it might be the case that most of your search traffic would be directed to one particular shard (eg. the current month shard) and having increased query capacity in that shard would be useful... this could be extended to many use cases such as data hashed by organization, type, etc. Thanks, steve
