: i´m really new in Solr and have a question about the Solr replication. : We want to use Solr in two data centers (dedicated fibre channel lane, like : intranet) behind a load balancer. Is the following infrastructure possible? : : - one repeater and one slave per data center : - the repeaters used to each other for replication : - the slaves uses the local repeater for replication : : Such a construction is possible? Or do I need a pure master server?
you can't have the repeaters talking to eachother -- there has to be one actual "master" that is where you index your data. you can think of the problem as having a "cluster" in each data center consisting of a "local master" and "local slaves" and then configure all of the individual "local masters" to actually be repeaters pulling from one "global master" which (if you want) could also be a "local master" in a particular data center. -Hoss
