Hello all, I am currently in the process of building out a solr cloud with solr 4.5 on 4 nodes with some pretty hefty hardware. When we create the collection we have a replication factor of 2 and store 2 replicas per node.
While we have been experimenting, which has involved bringing nodes up and down as well as tanking them with OOM errors while messing with jvm settings, we have observed a disturbing trend where we will bring nodes back up and suddenly shard x has 6 replicas spread across the nodes. These replicas will have been created with no action on our part and we would much rather they not be created at all. I have not been able to determine whether this is a bug or a feature. If its a bug, I will happily provide what I can to track it down. If it is a feature, I would very much like to turn it off. Any Information is appreciated. Regards, Ryan Wilson rpwils...@gmail.com
