Per Steffensen commented on SOLR-4114:
--------------------------------------

bq. As far as terminology, when I say replicationFactor of 3, I mean 3 copies 
of the data. I also count the leader as a replica of a shard (which is 
logical). It follows from the clusterstate.json, which lists all "replicas" for 
a shard and one of them just has a flag indicating it's the leader. This also 
makes it easier to talk about a shard having 0 replicas (meaning there is not 
even a leader).

Ok, its just than the replicationFactor you specify in your request is the 
other thing. You get replicationFactor + 1 shards per slice, if we define 
replicationFactor as the one you give in your request.

> We should support running multiple shards from one collection on the same 
> Solr server - the run a collection with 8 shards on a 4 Solr server cluster 
> (each Solr server running 2 shards).
> Performance tests at our side has shown that this is a good idea, and it is 
> also a good idea for easy elasticity later on - it is much easier to move an 
> entire existing shards from one Solr server to another one that just joined 
> the cluter than it is to split an exsiting shard among the Solr that used to 
> run it and the new Solr.
> See dev mailing list discussion "Multiple shards for one collection on the 
> same Solr server"
