Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to setup 3 shard 3 server setup with a replication factor of 2 with SolrCloud 5.3.0.
In particular trying to follow this setup described in this blog: http://lucidworks.com/blog/2014/06/03/introducing-the-solr-scale-toolkit/ EC2 Instance 1 Shard 1 - Leader (port 8984 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) Shard 2 - Leader (port 8985 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) EC2 Instance 2 Shard 1 - Replica (port 8984 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) Shard 2 - Replica (port 8985 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) EC2 Instance 3 Shard 1 - Replica (port 8984 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) Shard 2 - Replica (port 8985 separate drive with 50 GB SSD) Can anyone shed some light on how these can be configured using the SolrCloud collection API or using Solr command line utility to split them on different instances. As I know there are two approaches to sharding that is "Custom Sharding" and "Automatic Sharding". Which approach suits the use case described above? Is anyone able to provide pointers from past experience or point me to a good article that describes how this can be setup? Regards, Adrian
