Yes, you need three Zookeeper nodes. You cannot have an HA Solr Cloud installation with only two hosts. The Zookeeper hosts do not need to be large.
A master/slave configuration might be fine, but we need to know more before recommending that. How many documents? How big are they? How fresh does the index need to be (time between repository change and available to search)? How often does your source data change? How much downtime is allowable to switch over? Also, I have no idea what “DRBD” or “Pacemaker” means in this context. wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Feb 26, 2019, at 7:25 AM, Andreas Mock <andreas.m...@drumedar.de> wrote: > > Hi Walter, > > but I thought I need at least 3 zookeeper nodes?
