I agree in general with what Trey and Jan said and have suggested. I personally like to use "leader/follower". It's true that somewhat collides with SolrCloud terminology, but that's not a problem IMO, now that replica types exist, the “role” of the replica (leader vs. non-leader/follower) doesn’t specify the internals of how they behave, the replica type defines that. So, in a non-SolrCloud world, they would still be leader/followers regardless of how they perform that role.
I also agree that the name of the role is not that important, more the "mode" of the architecture needs to be renamed. We tend to refer to "SolrCloud mode" and "Master/Slave mode", the main part in all this (IMO) is to change that "mode" name. I kind of like Trey's suggestion of "Managed Clustering" vs. "Manual Clustering" Mode (Or "managed" vs "manual"), but still haven't made up my mind (especially the fact that "manual" usually doesn't really mean "manual", is just "you build your tools”)… On Fri, Jun 19, 2020 at 1:38 PM Walter Underwood <wun...@wunderwood.org> wrote: > > On Jun 19, 2020, at 7:48 AM, Phill Campbell > <sirgilli...@yahoo.com.INVALID> wrote: > > > > Delegator - Handler > > > > A common pattern we are all aware of.
