Hi, Appreciate if someone could provide some pointers/docx to find info about replication factor.
I see that the replication factor was mentioned in the wiki doc: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud - Managing collections via the Collections API - http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=mycollection&numShards=3&replicationFactor=4 . But, couldn't find much documentation on how it is actually going to work in a sharded cluster setup. I have a cluster with 3 solr nodes and 2 shards [numShards=2] with the following setup and I didn't specify any replicationFactor during the setup. shard1 <--> solr node1, *node3* shard2 <--> solr node2 So, when I added "*node3*" to the existing cluster, it was auto-assigned to "shard1". Does that mean "*node3*" acting as a replica of "node1"? And, "node2" didn't have any replica yet? If yes,what is the replication factor that i should provide in order to get the documents in node2 replicated to other nodes? What is the default replication factor if i don't specify any? Thanks, Sudhakar.
