I’m a big fan of master/slave Solr. Super robust and trivial to scale-out.
Solr Cloud has been useful for managing sharding and replicas, but less robust than I would like. Also less robust than my managers would like. It has gotten a bad reputation, only partially undeserved. I’m also not especially impressed with the Solr community openness to changes from outside of the committers. At some point, I’ll do the fourth port of a small enhancement to edismax. I’d love to run stock Solr, but I can’t. Fuzzy search got 100X faster in 4.x, but it isn’t available in edismax, even though it makes a huge difference for misspelled queries. Want to make a change that radically improves basic search? Implement IDF for phrases. Infoseek used that to beat Google in relevance for years. The patent has expired, so go for it. Also, how about a free text parser so we don’t have to rip out all the Lucene syntax in queries? wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Nov 27, 2019, at 8:37 AM, Mark Miller <markrmil...@gmail.com> wrote: > > If SolrCloud worked well I’d still agree both options are very valid > depending on your use case.
