Hi, I have a solr cloud setup, with document routing (implicit routing with router field). As the index is about documents with a publication date, I routed according the publication year, as in my case, most of the search queries will have a year specified.
Now, what would be the best strategy -as regards performance (i.e. a huge amount of queries to be processed)- for search queries without any year specified? 1 - Is it enough to define that these queries should go over all routes (i.e. route=year1, year2, ..., yearN)? 2 - Would it be better to add a separate node with a separate index that is not routed (but maybe sharded/splitted)? If so, how should I deal with such a separate index? Is it possible to add it to my existing Solr cloud? Would it go into a separate collection? Thanks for your advice. Johannes
