Ilan Ginzburg commented on SOLR-13101:
--------------------------------------
I have no issue with "will not fix" this Jira.
>From my perspective, the fundamental problem of this approach is not the
>introduction of a new replica type but the need to commit every batch to be
>able to push segments and having to wait for the push to complete and succeed
>before calling the indexing itself as successful (there are a few possible
>optimizations such as pushing files before commit happens so they're ready on
>blob by then, but the fundamental issues do not go away). That's a major
>performance degradation.
So yes, please close it. Thanks.
Looking forward to see a different approach that does not have the problems
listed above! (or less of them :))
> Shared storage support in SolrCloud
> -----------------------------------

> Key: SOLR-13101
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13101
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SolrCloud
> Reporter: Yonik Seeley
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 15h 50m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> Solr should have first-class support for shared storage (blob/object stores
> like S3, google cloud storage, etc. and shared filesystems like HDFS, NFS,
> etc).
> The key component will likely be a new replica type for shared storage. It
> would have many of the benefits of the current "pull" replicas (not indexing
> on all replicas, all shards identical with no shards getting out-of-sync,
> etc), but would have additional benefits:
> - Any shard could become leader (the blob store always has the index)
> - Better elasticity scaling down
> - durability not linked to number of replcias.. a single replica could be
> common for write workloads
> - could drop to 0 replicas for a shard when not needed (blob store always
> has index)
> - Allow for higher performance write workloads by skipping the transaction
> log
> - don't pay for what you don't need
> - a commit will be necessary to flush to stable storage (blob store)
> - A lot of the complexity and failure modes go away
> An additional component a Directory implementation that will work well with
> blob stores. We probably want one that treats local disk as a cache since
> the latency to remote storage is so large. I think there are still some
> "locking" issues to be solved here (ensuring that more than one writer to the
> same index won't corrupt it). This should probably be pulled out into a
> different JIRA issue.
