Hi, Could someone please inform me about best practices when load-balancing queries over Solr instances? We will have many shards each with multiple replications.
I understand that sending my request to one particular Solr instance will be routed appropriately, but requests will still be sent to this single instance. This instance might be busy routing while it should serve his core. Moreover, it might even go down. Would it make sense to have multiple "dummy" Solr instances that only route requests and do not serve any core, in order to minimize internal routing? Or, would it be better to install a reverse proxy in front of the Solr Cloud? Moreover, would it make sense to update the load-balancer dynamically watching Zookeeper, in order to minimize internal routing of requests? Thanks, Andrej
