we don't have any explicit API in the lock manager recipe to change the number of shards. But increasing the number of shards is as simple as updating the number of partitions in the idealstate.
IdealState is = helixAdmin.getResourceIdealState(cluster, resource); is.setNumPartitions(X); helixAdmin.setResourceIdealState(cluster, is); Let us know if that works.
