The reason is the following : I have a collection named col1 , which has n Shards deployed on n machines. ( on each machine - one shard with one replica )
Now I want to create col2 , with new config and import data from col1 to col2. What I need is that shards on col2 will be on the same machine like as in col 1 ( which means with same has range ). The reason is simple - I want during data import that data will be copied locally , not via the network between machines. For example if shard3 was machine #7 in col2 , so I want shard of col2 be also on the same machine. Otherwise it will copied over the network. But during collection creation the order of shards could not be controlled. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Collection-fix-predefined-hash-range-for-data-import-tp4141365p4141527.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
