Hi, solr folks, I followed the tutorial and everything worked well.
I then read the collection and distribtution twiki: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CollectionDistribution and tried to test replication using the scripts. What I did are the following: - downloaded solr-nightly binary to two different boxes. - ran the post script to create the indexes on one box, using it as the master. - ran snapshooter on the master; a snapshot file is created. - ran rsync-enable and rsync-start at the master - set up the master box config in the scripts.conf file on the slave box. - ran snappuller-enable on the slave - ran snappuller on the slave. Here's a problem I got. It says there's no match for snapshot.* found on the master box. This is wrong, there's one such file exists. - I then ran snappuller specifically on the snap file that's on the master: ./bin/snappuller -n snapshot.20061023172655 This time it worked. and running installer created the index successfully. So there're two questions: 1. why the pattern match failed when running puller without params? 2. when I ran snappuller, it kept asking me for passwords for at least three four time. Is this because it's using SSH? I have sudo permission on the master box. This makes me think if it's a cron-job that calls up the snappuller, how does the cron deal with this password prompts? many thanks, -Hui
