So I just tried this out, seems like it does the things I asked about.
Really really cool stuff, it's progressed quite a bit in the time
since I took a snapshot of the branch.
Last question, how do you change numShards? Is there a command you
can use to do this now? I understand there will be implications for
the hashing algorithm, but once the hash ranges are stored in ZK (is
there a separate JIRA for this or does this fall under 2358) I assume
that it would be a relatively simple index split (JIRA 2595?) and
updating the hash ranges in solr, essentially splitting the range
between the new and existing shard. Is that right?
