             Summary: Implement random replica placement strategy
                 Key: SOLR-15588
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15588
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: SolrCloud
    Affects Versions: main (9.0), 8x
            Reporter: Megan Carey


While this might be particularly interesting to users of 8x, it can also be made available in 9+: a replica placement strategy that randomly selects a node in the cluster (as long as no other replicas of that shard already live on that node). 

This has proven to be a valuable strategy for my use case, as it allows for really fast replica placement (-> fast collection creation, fast rebalancing, etc.), but it does not explicitly respect Autoscaling policies, so should be used wisely.
