A leader is also a replica - SolrCloud is not a master/slave architecture. Any replica can be elected to be the leader, but that is only temporary and can change over time.
You can place multiple shards on a single node, but was that really your intention? Generally, number of nodes equals number of shards times the replication factor. But then divided by shards per node if you do place more than one shard per node. -- Jack Krupansky On Thu, May 7, 2015 at 1:29 AM, Jilani Shaik <jilani24...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Is it possible to restrict number of documents per shard in Solr cloud? > > Lets say we have Solr cloud with 4 nodes, and on each node we have one > leader and one replica.
