Hi, I have a running Solr 4.7.1 collection with a single shard replicated over 7 nodes. This collection has been created using a replicationFactor=7. The idea was to replicate it on all the available nodes (it is a high throughput collection).
Recently I have added more nodes to house a different collection and I would like to use them all as replicas for the first collection. >From the Solr wiki sounds like there is an ADDREPLICA cmd that I could use but seems to me that it will work from Solr 4.8 on. Any suggestion on how to quickly tell Solr to use the new nodes to add more replicas to the first collection? I know that the best solution would be to bring down the collection and recreate it wout the replicationFactor set but I would like to know if there is some best practice that I can use. Thanks and regards, Ugo
