Summary: Allow backups to GCS (Google Cloud Storage)
Key: SOLR-15090
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15090
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Sub-task
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Reporter: Jason Gerlowski
Solr's BackupRepository interface provides an abstraction around the physical
location/format that backups are stored in. This allows plugin writers to
create "repositories" for a variety of storage mediums. It'd be nice if Solr
offered more mediums out of the box though, such as some of the "blobstore"
offerings provided by various cloud providers.
This ticket proposes that a "BackupRepository" implementation for Google's
popular 'Cloud Storage' blobstore, so that Solr users can use it for backups
without needing to write their own code.
Google offers a GCS Java client with acceptable licensing, and the integration
code is relatively simple. The biggest challenge in supporting this will
likely be procedural - integration testing requires GCS access and GCS access
costs money. We can check with INFRA to see if there is any way to get cloud
credits for an integration test to run in nightly Jenkins runs on the ASF
Jenkins server. Alternatively we can try to stub out the blobstore in some
reliable way.
