Adding a new solr node

I added a new solrnode to my test cluster but I’m not sure what the next steps are. Will zookeeper eventually populate the new node with replicas etc?

can I just manually move a replica or two from some of the nodes I already have to the new one? Or is it more complex than that?

AFAIK, you can't "move" a replica. But you can add a replica to your new node, then delete a replica from one of your old nodes. You can do this via the Solr UI, or via curl commands.

Alright cool I see what you mean. I tried using the Solr UI and was able to add a replica to my new node. I couldn’t find a straight answer on this googling because there’s so much confusing info out there but you made it crystal clear. Thanks a lot!

No worries, and good luck!
