Description

if a rule is specified as

for instance if a policy rule as follows exists

{"replica" : "#ALL", "freedisk" : "<500", "strict" : false}

 

If no no nodes have freedisk more than 500 GB, Solr ignores this rule completely and assign nodes. Ideally it should still prefer a node with freedisk of 450GB compared to a node that has freedisk of 400GB
