I have been playing around with replication in Solr 1.4 and I must say that it's a big "ease of use" improvement over scripts. Though, I have a few questions about it.
*1. Is there a way to specify multiple master URLs in the slaves? * I want to make sure I have redundancy, and if one master goes down the slaves automatically start taking data from the other master. If not, has anyone tried a load balancer approach where you put the multiple masters behind the LB and have slaves talk to the LB? * 2. Is there a plan to add multicast support to Solr Replication? *If I have ~100 slaves talking to the master over rsync - I see two problems a. Network b. Master being choked as it's getting requests from 100 machines Thoughts? Thanks, Sameer. -- http://www.productification.com
