Hi,

Wanted to bring up an issue
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6447) just to get opinions
on whether this warrants a re-spin (thinking NO but wanted to be sure
someone didn't feel otherwise).

Basically, if you use: bin/solr -c, Solr will start in cloud mode and
since collection1 defines a cores.properties, it gets auto-created as
a collection. Unfortunately, the script doesn't set -DnumShards, so
collection1 is getting created using the implicit router and a null
range.

As for overall impact, I think it's pretty minor but could lead to
confusion for new users that may want to try splitting collection1
(unlikely).

For now, I've updated the Ref Guide to guide new users to using:
bin/solr -e cloud instead, which will prompt the user for number of
nodes, collection name, num shards, rf, etc. In other words, if users
do: bin/solr -e cloud, it will help them create a new collection that
has numShards set correctly.

I don't think there's any big risk here but wanted to be proactive in
letting folks know this issue exists before we move forward with 4.10.

Cheers,
Tim
