While I was writing that, I accidentally pressed the key combination that told my mail client to send the message before I was done. Loggly created a new shard every five minutes, and merged older shards to longer time intervals. I personally don't need this capability, but it is a useful pattern. I was wondering recently whether a custom document router could be built for SolrCloud that automatically manages time-divided shards - creating, merging, and if you're not keeping the data forever, deleting. Thanks, Shawn
