Solr itself does not handle failover and load balancing of the slave servers. You can put a load balancer in front of the pool of slave servers for that. You can add and remove slave servers from the pool dynamicly without making any change of the master and other slaves.

I'm reading in earnest the wiki entries regarding collection distribution and the master/slave operational basis. This is very similar to what we've used previously in our operation based on the lucene core. We're deploying initially on Tomcat 5.5.17, Linux RHEL 3 and the latest bits from Solr. My question concerns how Solr handles slave querying & configuration. - How is failover achieved? - How is performance load balancing achieved? thanks, jeff r.
