## Summary Verified that all Phase 1 acceptance criteria are met: ### Router Correctness (router.rs) - ✅ Rendezvous determinism across 1000 runs - ✅ Minimal reshuffling on node add/remove - ✅ Uniform distribution (64 shards, 3 nodes, RF=1 → 18–26 per node) - ✅ RF=2 placement stability - ✅ write_targets returns RG × RF nodes - ✅ query_group distributes evenly - ✅ covering_set returns one node per shard with replica rotation - ✅ shard_for_key uses seed 0 (matches Meilisearch Enterprise) ### Result Merger (merger.rs) - ✅ Global sort by _rankingScore - ✅ Offset/limit applied after merge - ✅ Conditional _rankingScore stripping - ✅ _miroir_* reserved fields always stripped - ✅ Facet counts summed across shards - ✅ estimatedTotalHits summed - ✅ processingTimeMs = max across shards ### Coverage - ✅ miroir-core: 91.80% line coverage (exceeds 90% requirement) - router.rs: 96.20% - topology.rs: 100.00% - scatter.rs: 100.00% - merger.rs: 94.67% ### Test Results All 151 tests pass.

Miroir
Multi-node Index Replication Orchestrator, Integrated Rebalancing
Miroir is a RAID-like orchestration layer for Meilisearch. It stripes a large index across a fleet of small-RAM Meilisearch nodes with a configurable replication factor, fans out search queries across all shards, and rebalances shard assignments when nodes are added or removed — all using the Meilisearch Community Edition.
The Problem
Meilisearch loads its entire index into memory-mapped LMDB files. A large index that exceeds a single server's available RAM cannot run on that server. The Enterprise Edition's native sharding is gated behind a commercial license. Miroir solves this without it.
How It Works

Miroir Orchestrator
├── Write path: hash(doc_id) → assign to shard → write to R replicas
├── Read path: scatter query to all shards → gather → merge ranked results
└── Rebalance: on node add/remove → recompute assignments → migrate minimum shards
Meilisearch Nodes (N instances, each holding a subset of shards)
node-0 node-1 node-2 ... node-N
Replication Factor
Analogous to software RAID — configurable per deployment:
| RF | Redundancy | Node failures tolerated | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | None (stripe only) | 0 | 100% of fleet |
| 2 | One replica | 1 per shard group | 50% of fleet |
| 3 | Two replicas | 2 per shard group | 33% of fleet |
Key Components
- Orchestrator — proxy that handles shard routing, scatter-gather, result merging, and topology management
- Shard router — consistent hash function (Rendezvous/HRW) mapping document IDs to node assignments; minimal reshuffling on topology change
- Rebalancer — on node add/remove, recomputes assignments and migrates only the shards that changed owners; surviving replicas serve reads during rebuild
- Result merger — normalizes and merges ranked result sets from multiple shards into a single coherent response
Status
Design phase. See docs/ for architecture detail.
