Hi, I understand your point on how do I do it myself in my Java code.
However, I'm more interested to know how the default behaviour of DistributedSearch work when I issue a command like "curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/select?shards=localhost:8983/solr,localhost:7574/solr&indent=true&q=ipod+solr'" as mentioned in the wiki.

That is partially the idea of sharding, right? :) So if the user wants to search for a log file in June, your application knows that June logs are stored on the second box, and hence will redirect the search to that box. Alternatively if he wants to search for logs spanning two boxes, you merely add the shards parameter to your query and just include the path to those to shards in question. I'm not really sure about how solr handles the merging of results etc and wether or not the requests are done in paralell or sequentially, but I do know that you could easily manage this on your own through java if you want to. (Simply setting up one HttpSolrServer in your code for each shard, and searching them in parallell in separate threads. => then reducing the results afterwards). Have a look at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DistributedSearch for more info. You could also take a look at Hadoop.
