Sorry about the confusion. I meant I created my config via the ZkCLI and
then I wanted to create my core via the CollectionsAPI. I *think* I have it
working but was wondering why there are a crazy amount of core names under
the admin "Core Selector"?
When I create X amount of shards via the bootstrap command I think it only
creates 1 core. Am I missing something?
If you create it with numShards=1 and replicationFactor=2, you'll end up
with a total of 2 cores across all your Solr instances. For my simple
cloud install, these are the numbers that I'm using. One shard, a total
of two copies.
If you create it with the numbers given on the wiki page, numShards=3
and replicationFactor=4, there would be a total of 12 cores created
across all your servers. The maxShardsPerNode parameter defaults to 1,
which means that only 1 core per instance (SolrCloud node) is allowed
for that collection. If there aren't enough Solr instances for the
numbers you have entered, the creation will fail.
I don't know any details about what the bootstrap_conf parameter
actually does when it creates collections. I've never used it - I want
to be in control of the configs and collections that get created.
Thanks,
