Thanks Eric and Walter, this is extremely insightful. One last followup question on composite routing. I'm trying to have a better understanding of index distribution. If I use language as a prefix, SolrCloud guarantees that same language content will be routed to the same shard. What I'm curious to know is how rest of the data is being distributed across remaining shards. For e.g. I've the following composite keys,
enu!doc1 enu!doc2 deu!doc3 deu!doc4 esp!doc5 chs!doc6 If I've 2 shards in the cluster, will SolrCloud try to distribute the above data evenly? Is is possible that enu will be routed to shard1 while deu goes to shard2, and esp and chs gets indexed in either of them. Or, all of them can potentially end up getting indexed in the same shard, either 1 or 2, leaving one shard under-utilized. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-Cloud-sharding-strategy-tp4262274p4262336.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
