Hi I'm about to deploy SOLR in a production environment and so far I'm a bit concerned about availability.
I have a system that is responsible for fetching data from a database and then pushing it to SOLR using its XML/HTTP interface. So I'm going to deploy N instances of my application so it's going to be redundant enough. And I'm deploying SOLR in a Master / Slaves structure, so I'm using the slaves nodes as a way to keep my index replicated and to be able to use them to serve my queries. But my problem lies on the indexing side of things. Is there a good alternative like a Master/Master structure that I could use so if my current master dies I can automatically switch to my secondary master keeping my index integrity? Or it would be needed a manual index merge after this switch over so I can redefine my primary master server?
