Hi, The split-shard feature of SolrCloud has been around for a while. And it sounds like a necessary feature to be able to scale down a system, that was scaled up (to optimize resource utilization).
What is the reason that MergeShard has not been introduced in SolrCloud yet? I imagine I could perform a MergeShard by doing the following: 1. Copy the indexes to the same node. 2. Call merge-index command from Core api. 3. Update clusterstate.json to reflect the change (This seems non-trivial: updating range, shards, replicas, leaders etc.) Does this sound right?
