Thanks, David for the quick response. Is there any use-case to use HAProxy
or Nginx webserver or any other application to load balance both Solr
primary and secondary nodes?
I had a setup with haproxy and two copies of a Solr index.
Four of the nodes with Solr on them were running a pacemaker setup for
high availability on the haproxy load balancer. If any single system
were to die, everything kept on working.
My homegrown indexing system kept both copies of the index up to date
independently -- no replication. I had to abandon replication because
version 3.x and later cannot replicate from 1.x. I kept that paradigm
even after I was running version with compatible replication because it
was very flexible.
I really like haproxy, but going into further detail would be off topic
for this list.
Thanks,
