Dynamic adding of shards

[Ankita Patil <an...@germinait.com>]

Hi,
One way to add new shards is to add them in the shard parameter in the
solrconfig.xml file. But this will require to restart the solr server
everytime you add a new shard.
I wanted to know if it is possible to dynamically add shards without having
to restart the solr server. If yes how?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Reloading the index works. Thanks

You can always put the shards in the URL.

I don't know whether reloading the core will accomplish this,
you might check that out. See:
