Hi Daniel, I'm not sure how this would apply to an existing collection (in your case collection1). Try using the collections API to create a new collection and pass the router.field parameter. Grep'ing over the code, the parameter is named: router.field (not routerField or routeField).

Hi, I'm using Solr 4.6 and trying to specify a router.field (shard key) on a specific collection so that all documents with the same value in the specified field end up in the same collection. However, I can't find an example of how to do this via the solr.xml? I see in this ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5017 there is a mention of a routeField property. Should the solr.xml contain the following? <cores adminPath="/admin/cores" defaultCoreName="collection1"> <core name="collection1" instanceDir="collection1" routerField="consolidationGroupId" /> </cores> Any help would be greatly appreciate? I've been yak shaving all afternoon reading various Jira tickets and wikis trying to get this to work :-) Best wishes, Daniel -- *Daniel Bryant | Software Development Consultant | www.tai-dev.co.uk <http://www.tai-dev.co.uk/>* daniel.bry...@tai-dev.co.uk <mailto:daniel.bry...@tai-dev.co.uk> | +44 (0) 7799406399 | Twitter: @taidevcouk <https://twitter.com/taidevcouk>
