Hi Guys,
I just took over the care and feeding of three poor neglected solr 5.4.1 cloud clusters at my new position. While spinning up new collections and supporting other business initiatives I am pushing management to give me the green light on migrating to a newer version of solr. The last solr I worked with was 6.6.1 and I was thinking of doing an upgrade to that (er actually 6.6.2) as I was reading an existing index only upgrades one major version number at a time. Then I realized the existing 5.4.1 cloud clusters here were set up with unmanaged configs, so now I'm starting to lean toward just spinning up clean new 6.6.2 or 7.1 clouds on new machines leaving the existing 5.4.1 machines in place then reindexing everything on to the new machines with the intention of testing and then swapping in the new machines and finally destroying the old ones when the dust settles (they're all virtuals so NP just destroying the old instances and recovering their resources). Thoughts? Thanks Robi ________________________________ This communication is confidential.
