Description

Configured my replication handler like this:

<requestHandler name="/replication" class="solr.ReplicationHandler" >
<lst name="master">
<str name="replicateAfter">startup</str>
<str name="replicateAfter">commit</str>
<str name="replicateAfter">optimize</str>
<str name="confFiles">elevate.xml,schema.xml,spellings.txt,stopwords.txt,stopwords_de.txt,stopwords_en.txt,synonyms_de.txt,synonyms.txt</str>
<str name="backupAfter">optimize</str>
<str name="numberToKeep">1</str>
</lst>
</requestHandler>

So after optimize a snapshot should be taken, this works. But numberToKeep is ignored, snapshots are increasing with each call to optimize and are kept forever. Seems this settings have no effect.
