Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-3755:
------------------------------------

It seems like we need logical shard parameters (i.e. Slice class), but we don't 
currently have a place for them.
These parameters would include:
 - collection (this is somewhat redundant, but belongs more on a slice than on 
a replica)
 - replication factor (i.e. in time based sharding, one may want more replicas 
of recent shards to handle greater query throughput)
 - hash range(s) covered by the slice
 - maybe a pointer to the leader, rather than having to search through the 
nodes?

You can see the previous structure of cloudstate from my previous message.

One fix is to introduce a "nodes" or "replicas" level to contain the nodes and 
leave the other properties as top-level:

{code}
  "shard1": {
    "replication_factor" : 3,
    "range" : "00000000-3fffffff",
    "nodes" : {
      "Rogue:8983_solr_collection1":{
        "state" : "active"
      }
    }
  }
{code}

Another way is to introduce a "props" to store properties:

{code}
  "shard1": {
    "props" : {
      "replication_factor" : 3,
      "range" : "00000000-3fffffff"
    },
    "Rogue:8983_solr_collection1":{
      "state" : "active"
    }
  }
{code}

The first option feels more natural to me - properties are directly under the 
shard, and the nodes of a shard are simply another property.

> We can currently easily add replicas to handle increases in query volume, but
