[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-5958) Document (and fix) numShards and router selection parameter in SolrCloud

["Noble Paul (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5958?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14068340#comment-14068340 ] 

Noble Paul commented on SOLR-5958:
----------------------------------

bq.Though the bootstrap does not treat numShards as a required param, the Collection API does and throw an error if we don't specify numShards.

The collection API is not used to create the collection, but the STATE command does that. The STATE command would fail if numShards is not present, but the nodes will always send the value "1"  if nothing else is configured

> Right now numShards works in rather mysterious ways (unless you know how it works). We should clearly document the following:
> * If we start SolrCloud with bootstrapping, without mentioning numShards parameter, it defaults to 1 and also defaults the router to 'implicit'.
> * Mentioning numShards param, defaults the router to compositeId.
> * Though the bootstrap does not treat numShards as a required param, the Collection API does and throw an error if we don't specify numShards.
