I'm trying to get a 2-node SolrCloud install off the ground with the 4.1
branch. This is a new project for a different system than my existing
Solr 3.5.0 setup. It will have one shard and two replicas.
I have part of the example in /opt/mbsolr4 -- jetty, the war file, logs,
etc. This is the CWD.
I want all my config and data to live in /index/mbsolr4, so I am using
-Dsolr.solr.home=/index/mbsolr4. This setup mirrors what I am doing for
upgrading the other system from 3.5.0 to 4.1, which is not using SolrCloud.
There is also a separate 3-node zookeeper ensemble, with two of those
nodes living on the two Solr servers.
What do I need in the solr home (/index/mbsolr4) before I start Solr?
If I was not using SolrCloud, I would put solr.xml in there, pointing at
directories relative to that location.
I'm going to have multiple collections. Some of those collections will
use the same config/schema, others will use slightly different versions.
I have worked out the zkHost value that I will need:
-DzkHost=mbzoo1:2181,mbzoo2:2181,mbzoo3:2181/mbsolr1
I have both Solr servers started and talking to zookeeper, but there are
no collections so the UI doesn't work.
Are the following options enough for me to get my first config &
collection into zookeeper/solrcloud -- assuming the config is right? Do
I need numShards and the replica count at this phase?
-Dbootstrap_confdir=/index/mbsolr4/bootstrapconf
-Dcollection.configName=mbbasecfg
Thanks,
Shawn
