Erick Erickson created SOLR-6670:
------------------------------------
Summary: change BALANCESLICEUNIQUE to BALANCESHARDUNIQUE
Key: SOLR-6670
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6670
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Erick Erickson
Priority: Minor
JIRA for Jan's comments on SOLR-6513:
I thought we agreed to prefer the term "shard" over "slice", so I think we
should do this for this API as well.
The only place in our refguide we use the word "slice" is in How SolrCloud
Works [1] and that description is disputed.
The refguide explanation of what a shard is can be found in Shards and Indexing
Data in SolrCloud [2], quoting:
When your data is too large for one node, you can break it up and store it in
sections by creating one or more shards. Each is a portion of the logical
index, or core, and it's the set of all nodes containing that section of the
index.
So I'm proposing a rename of this API to BALANCESHARDUNIQUE and a rewrite of
[1].

Note Mark's comment on that JIRA, but I think it would be best to continue to
talk about "shards" with user-facing operations.
