Hi, I believe the default behavior of creating collections distributed across shards through the following command
http:// [solrlocation]:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=[collection_name]&numShards=2&replicationFactor=2&maxShardsPerNode=2&collection.configName=[configuration_name] is that Solr will create the collection as follows *shard1: *leader in server1 and replica in server2 *shard2:* leader in server2 and replica in server1 However, I have seen cases when running the above command that it creates both the leader and replica on the same server. Wondering if there is a way to control this behavior (I mean control where the leader and the replica of each shard will reside)? Regards, Salman
