I am trying to setup 2 shard cluster with 2 replicas with dedicated nodes for replicas. I have 4 node SolrCloud setup that I am trying to shard using collections api .. (Like https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud#Example_C:_Two_shard_cluster_with_shard_replicas_and_zookeeper_ensemble )
I ran this command - http://serv001:5258/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=Main&numShards=2&maxShardsPerNode=1&createNodeSet= serv001:5258_solr, serv002:5258_solr Response - <response> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">0</int> <int name="QTime">3932</int> </lst> <lst name="success"> <lst> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">0</int> <int name="QTime">2982</int> </lst> <str name="core">Main_shard2_replica1</str> </lst> <lst> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">0</int> <int name="QTime">3005</int> </lst> <str name="core">Main_shard1_replica1</str> </lst> </lst> </response> I want to know what *_replica1 or *_replica2 means? Are they actually replicas and not the shards? I intended to add 2 more nodes as dedicated replication nodes. How to accomplish that? Would appreciate any pointers. -E
