All, I am using Solr 5.4 in solr cloud mode in a 8 node cluster. Used the replication factor of 1 for creating the index, then switched to replication factor > 1 for redundancy. With replication factor > 1, and tried to do indexing for incremental. When the incremental indexing happens - getting a stack trace with the root cause pointing to write.lock is not available. Further analysis found that there is only one write.lock across all shards (leader and replicas).
But with replication factor of 1 , I could see write.lock across all nodes. is this the expected behavior (one write.lock) in the solr cloud with replication factor > 1. If so how can the indexing be done (even though it is slow) with distributed and redundant shards? OR is there any config param that is missing to create write.lock across all shards with replication factor > 1. Appreciate your insights. Thanks Ravi
