thanks for your feedback Erick. I am also aware of the current limitation of shard number in a collection is fixed. changing the number will need re-config and re-index. Let's say if the limitation gets levitated in near future release, I would then consider setup collection for each customer, which will include varies number of shards and their replicas (depend on the customer size and it should grow dynamically).
so this will lead to having multiple collections on one solr server instance... I assume setup n collections on one server is not an issue? or is it? I am skeptical, see example on solr wiki below, it seems it is starting a solr instance with a specific collection and its config: cd example java -Dbootstrap_confdir=./solr/collection1/conf -Dcollection.configName=myconf -DzkRun -DnumShards=2 -jar start.jar thanks Jie -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/load-balance-with-SolrCloud-tp4018367p4018659.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
