[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-4998) Make the use of Slice and Shard consistent across the code and document base

["Anshum Gupta (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4998?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13699089#comment-13699089 ] 

Anshum Gupta commented on SOLR-4998:
------------------------------------

Here's my take on what I think these terms should refer to. Any feedback suggestions would be great:
Slice: The higher level, logical representation.
Shard: The entity representing any physical index belonging to a Slice.

Collection has Slices
Slices have Shards

I'll take this up.

> The interchangeable use of Slice and Shard is pretty confusing at times. We should define each separately and use the apt term whenever we do so.
