I noticed that when I issue the CREATE collection command to the api, it does not automatically put a replica on every live node connected to zookeeper.
So, for example, if I have 3 solr nodes connected to a zookeeper ensemble and create a collection like this: /admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=my_collection&numShards=1&replicationFactor=1&maxShardsPerNode=1&collection.configName=my_config It will only create a core on one of the three nodes. I can make it work if I change replicationFactor to 3. When standing up an entire stack using chef, this all gets a bit clunky. I don't see any option such as "ALL" that would just create a replica on all nodes regardless of size. I'm guessing this is intentional, but curious about the reasoning. Thanks! Jim
