Sounds like what probably happened is that for some reason it thought when you restarted the shard that you were creating it with numShards=2 instead of 1. In that case, the a new entry in zk would be created. The first entry *could* still look like it was active (we did not always try and publish a DOWN state on a clean shutdown) and the node that it is on will appear live (because it is). In this case, the node would try to recover from itself. I actually when expect that to easily corrupt the index. It’s easy enough to check though. Simply try starting a Solr instance against it and take a look. - Mark http://about.me/markrmiller
