You do not have to use cloud.
For most people who are starting from scratch, I would suggest using
SolrCloud. Many many things are just a lot easier with cloud.
For somebody who has an existing setup that's NOT running cloud, if they
are happy with their setup, I see no reason to change it ... but those
people should at least *investigate* SolrCloud, just to find out whether
it might make their operations easier.
solr 4.3.0 master/slave
14 servers RHEL 32 core 96 gb ram 7 shards one replica per shard
Total index is 333Gb around 47.5 GB per server.
APX 2million docs per shard
Sharded indexes are a LOT easier in SolrCloud. I have dealt with
sharded indexes without cloud. If SolrCloud had existed when I began
that work, I would have definitely used it. That index might still be
using master/slave, but it was not possible to set up replication
between 1.4.1 and 3.2.0, so master/slave went out the window.
I have no idea what APX is.
Thanks,
Shawn
