# Weight

The new weight for the child server specified by the ID parameter.

The weight sets the ratio in which documents are distributed, so if server `0` has weight `1` and server `1` has weight `2` then for every document server `0` receives server `1` receives two.

You can set a weight of `0` to add no documents to a child server.

NOTE: DIH respects child server weights only in simple non-mirror distribution and consistent hashing modes.
