I strongly prefer the classic config files approach. Our config files are checked into version control. We update on the fly by uploading new files to Zookeeper, then reloading the collection. No restart needed.
Pushing changes to prod is straightforward. Check out the tested files, load them into the prod cluster, reload the collection. wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jun 19, 2018, at 9:06 AM, Doug Turnbull > <dturnb...@opensourceconnections.com> wrote: > > I actually prefer the classic config-files approach over managed schemas. > Having done both Elasticsearch (where everything is configed through an > API), managed and non-managed Solr, I prefer the legacy non-managed Solr > way of doing things when its possible > > - With 'managed' approaches, the config code often turns into spaghetti > throughout the client application, and harder to maintain > - The client application is often done in any number of programming > languages, client APIs, etc which makes it harder to ramp up new Solr devs > on how the search engine works > - The file-based config can be versioned and deployed as an artifact that > only contains config bits relevant to the search engine > > I know there's a lot of 'it depends'.
