does the Solandra specific partitioner distribute data relatively equally across nodes? Is this influenced by the shards.at.once property? If I'm writing to 3 nodes, how would the default setting of 4 for this property affect the distribution of data across my nodes?

I don't think I do because Cassandra is handling the "sharding", not Solr, but just want to make sure. The Solandra wiki references the distributed search limitations, which talks about the shard syntax further down the page. >From what I see with how it is implemented I should just be able to pick a >random Solandra node and do my query, since they are all backed by the same >Cassandra data store.
