We have about 200 million documents (~70 GB) we need to keep indexed across 3 collections.
Currently 2 of the 3 collections are already indexed (roughly 90m docs). We'd like to create the remaining collection (about 100 m documents) but minimizing the performance impact on the existing collections on Solr servers during that Time. Is there some way to do this either by 1. Creating the collection in another environment and shipping the (underlying Lucene) index files 2. Creating the collection on (dedicated) new machines that we add to the SolrCloud cluster? Thoughts, comments or suggestions appreciated, Best -Frank Kelly
