Christine Poerschke updated SOLR-5326:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: OverseerCollectionProcessor.patch
                CollectionsHandler.patch

Uploading patch against 4.4.0 which allows multiple shard= parameters and extra 
information at the end of each parameter. 
  action=SPLITSHARD&shard=shard1/2x3&shard=shard2/4x1
for example will split shard1 and shard2 in parallel, shard1 will be split into 
2 sub-shards, shard2 will be split into 4 sub-shards, for shard1 in total 3 
replicas will be created but for shard2 only 1 replica will be created. The 
extra information at the end of the shard= parameters eventually of course 
should go into separate parameters.

> admin/collections?action=SPLITSHARD support for multiple shards

> The problem we saw was that splitting one shard took 'a long time' (around 4 
> hours) and with there being 'many' (8 at the time) shards to split and the 
> solr overseer serialising action=SPLITSHARD requests a full collection split 
> would have taken 'a very long time'.
> Separately, shard splitting distributing replica2, replica3, etc. of each 
> shard randomly across machines was not desirable and as in SOLR-5004 
> splitting into 'n' rather than '2' sub-shards was useful.
