I'm using HAProxy with 5 second healthcheck intervals and haven't seen any problems on Solr 1.4.
My HAProxy config looks like this: listen solr :5083 option httpchk GET /solr/parts/admin/ping HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:\ www server solr01 192.168.0.101:9983 check inter 5000 server solr02 192.168.0.102:9983 check inter 5000 Have you tried hitting /admin/ping (which handles checking for the existence of your health file) instead of /admin/file?file=healthcheck.txt? -Tim On Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 9:26 PM, Blargy <zman...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Lance, > > We have have thousands of searches per minute so a minute of downtime is out > of the question.
