Christine Poerschke commented on SOLR-5213:
-------------------------------------------

Two occurrences of lost documents were seen. The one with the majority of 
documents lost was tracked down to operational error (shardX files were copied 
to be shardY files), a second loss was of a few dozen documents only, for that 
never figured out if it was operational or something else. Other shard splits 
since then were fine i.e. no losses.

> The problem we saw was that splitting a shard took a long time and at the end 
> of it the sub-shards contained fewer documents than the original shard.
> The root cause was eventually tracked down to the disappearing documents not 
> falling into the hash ranges of the sub-shards.
> Could SolrIndexSplitter split report per-segment numDocs for parent and 
> sub-shards, with at least a warning logged for any discrepancies (documents 
> falling into none of the sub-shards or documents falling into several 
> sub-shards)?
> Additionally, could a case be made for erroring out when discrepancies are 
> detected i.e. not proceeding with the shard split? Either to always error or 
> to have an verifyNumDocs=false/true optional parameter for the SPLITSHARD 
> action.
