Hi, I am currently using features like facet and group/collapse on solr 3.6. The frequency of writing is user driven, and hence is expected to be visible real time or at least near real time. These updates should be consistent in facet and group results as well. Also to handle the query load, I may have to use replication/sharding w/ or w/o solr cloud.
I am planning to migrate to solr 4.0, and use its powerful features of NRT ( soft commit ) and Solr Cloud ( using Zookeeper ) to achieve the above requirements. Is a Solr Cloud with a replication level greater than 1, capable of giving NRT results ? If yes, do these NRT results work with all kinds of querying, like, faceting and grouping ? It would be great if some one could share their insights and numbers on these questions. -- Regards, Samarth
