scale with 3 shards on single server

[SuoNayi <su...@163.com>]

Hi all,
   Because we cannot add or remove shard when solrcloud cluster has been set up, 
so we have to predict a precise shard size at first, says we need 3 shards.
but now we have no enough servers to set up the cluster with one shard one server.
In this situation, I have to set up the cluster on the single server, does this mean I have to 
deploy three shards on the same server differing by different directories?
when more servers are available, how to move two shards to new servers?


Thanks && regards.

Yep, that's the usual process for growth planning.
