+ == Glossary ==
+ 
+ Collection: A single search index.
+ Shard: Either a logical or physical section of a single index depending on context. A logical section is also called a slice. A physical shard is expressed as a SolrCore.
+ Slice: A logical section of a single index. One or more identical, physical shards make up a slice.
+ SolrCore: Encapsulates a single physical index. One or more make up logical shards (or slices) which make up a collection.
+ Node: A single instance of Solr. A single Solr instance can have multiple SolrCores that can be part of any number of collections.
+ Cluster: All of the nodes you are using to host SolrCores.
