One way to provide Solr with the config files is to upload them to ZooKeeper https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/using-zookeeper-to-manage-configuration-files.html#UsingZooKeepertoManageConfigurationFiles-UploadingConfigurationFilesusingbin_solrorSolrJ
This can be achieved by copying the config files from search_api_solr/solr-conf/x.x to your Solr server and then running the 'bin/solr zk upconfig' utility to upload them into a new configset. Once you have done that, you can create a new collection with that configset. Not sure if the zk upconfig utility is available in Solr 5 though, so you may want to have a look at the reference guide for Solr 5: https://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/ref-guide/ On Mon, Dec 11, 2017 at 11:06 AM, Per Qvindesland <p...@me.com> wrote: > Hi > > Thanks for the information. > > Once the collection is created how do you drop such as the schema.xml to > the folder locations, I have used rsync -av search_api_solr/solr-conf/5.x > /var/solr/data/search_shard2_replica1/ on one instance but I can’t see > the files being replicated between the instances. > > Regards > Per > > > > > > On 11 Dec 2017, at 14:57, Fengtan <fengtan...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > Drupal can talk to a SolrCloud cluster the same way it talks to a > > standalone Solr server, i.e. by using the Search API suite > > https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api > > > > You will have to create the collection yourself on Solr though (Drupal > will > > not do it for you). > > > > If you want to take advantage of SolrCloud's fault tolerance capabilities > > then you may have to: > > * either use an external load balancer in front of your SolrCloud cluster > > * or implement a smart client in Drupal -- I opened this ticket some time > > ago https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_solr/issues/2858645 > > > > > > > > On Mon, Dec 11, 2017 at 7:48 AM, Per Qvindesland <p...@me.com> wrote: > > > >> Hi All > >> > >> I have a solr cloud with zookeeper 3.4.10 and solr 5.4.1, i on 3 centos > 7 > >> instances in AWS, I intend to use the cluster for Drupal 7 search. > >> > >> At the moment we have 2 instances running in production with each having > >> their own solr installation (no cloud) but I would like to improve the > >> redundancy and maybe even the performance, I followed > >> http://www.francelabs.com/blog/tutorial-deploying- > >> solrcloud-6-on-amazon-ec2/ to get the cloud up and running but I need > >> some guidance on how to add in a new shard/collection so I can point the > >> drupal instances to the new solr cloud, does anyone have any > information on > >> how to do this? as you can see i have no experience with solr cloud :) > >> > >> Regards > >> Per > >> > >> > >> > >> > >
