When one of your shards dies, your index becomes incomplete. By default the querying is distributed (on all shards - &distrib=true) and if one of them (shard X) is down, then you get an error stating that there are "no servers hosting shard X".
If the other shards are still up you can query them directly using "&distrib=false" but in the resultset you will only have documents from that shard. So you would have to query every active shard individually and then merge the results yourself. If I'm wrong please correct me. ----- Thanks, Michael -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/One-of-all-shard-stopping-all-shards-stop-tp4098015p4098024.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
