2. It's almost always a mistake to think about it this way. You're not going to "implement Apache Solr in the particular above table to increase search capability", you're going to build a search application where the system of record is the database. So forget about the table! Just consider the data it contains and ask "how do I want to search this?" Build out your use cases which will be vital to design your schema, and _then_ consider how to move the data from your DB into Solr to support those use cases.
3. That's what SolrCloud is all about 4. Again, the wrong question. At the "billions" scale you have to use shards. As was said before, there's a hard limit of 2 billion docs/shard, and practically less than that. You have no choice but to shard so a better question is "can I get the performance I need from a multi-shard Solr collection with the data I have and the use-cases I need to support", which you can't tell until you prototype. Here's a blog on this very topic: https://lucidworks.com/2012/07/23/sizing-hardware-in-the-abstract-why-we-dont-have-a-definitive-answer/ Best, Erick On Sat, Sep 15, 2018 at 8:24 AM senthil <senthilkum...@sardonyx.in> wrote: > > Dear Team, > > > > We are beginners to Apache Solr and its implementations.
