Hi there, I have a 2 node cluster running apache and solr over a shared partition ontop of DRBD. Think of it like a SAN.
I'm curios as to how I should do load balancing / sharing with Solr in this setup. I'm already using DNS round robbin for apache. My Solr installation is on /cluster/Solr. I've been starting an instance of Solr on each server out of the same installation / working directory. Is this safe? I haven't noticed any problems so far. Does this mean they'll share the same index? Is there a better way to do this? Should I perhaps only do commits on one of the servers (and setup heartbeat to determine which server to run the commit on)? I'm running Solr 1.3, but I'm not against upgrading if that provides me with a better way of load balancing. Kind regards, Pieter
