Hello
I have a set of pre-existing configuration files and want to create a new solr cluster. As part of this new cluster I want to name the shards and use a CompositeId router. My core.properties file is: name=sessions shard=${shard:shard1} coreNodeName=${coreNodeName:node1} loadOnStartup=true transient=false dataDir=/solr ulogDir=/solrLog And I set the shard name in the solr.in.sh using: SOLR_OPTS="$SOLR_OPTS -Dshard=20160222" If I upload the files to zookeeper as above, the router is set to implicit. I've then realised I need to specify numShards. However, if I add numShards=1 into the core.properties file and then upload the files, I get a shard called 'shard1' which isn't linked to anything and then my named shard. This 'shard1' is causing me problems and stopping solr from working. What am I doing wrong? This there a setting which I am missing? Many thanks Philippa
