We are migrating from a master-slave configuration to Solr cloud (7.3) and have questions about the preferred way to load balance between the two clusters. It looks like we want to use a load balancer that directs queries to any of the server nodes in either cluster, trusting that node to handle the query correctly – true? If we auto-scale nodes into the cluster, are there considerations about when a node becomes ‘ready’ to query from a Solr perspective and when it is added to the load balancer? Also, what is the preferred method of doing a health-check for the load balancer – would it be “bin/solr healthcheck -c myCollection”?
Pointers in the right direction – especially to any documentation on running multiple clusters with the same dataset – would be appreciated. Monica Skidmore Senior Software Engineer [cid:image001.png@01D3A0F1.06327950]
