Hi Erick; Thanks for your answer. I have read that at somewhere:
I believe "redirect" from replica to leader would happen only at index time, so a doc first gets indexed to leader and from there it's replicated to non-leader shards. Is that true? I want to make clear the things in my mind otherwise I want to ask a separate question about what happens for indexing and querying at SolrCloud. 2013/5/6 Shawn Heisey <s...@elyograg.org> > On 5/6/2013 7:55 AM, Andre Bois-Crettez wrote: > > Excellent idea ! > > And it is possible to use collection aliasing with the CREATEALIAS to > > make this transparent for the query side. > > > > ex. with 2 collections named : > > collection_1 > > collection_2 > > > > > /collections?action=CREATEALIAS&name=collectionalias&collections=collection_1 > > > > "collectionalias" is now a virtual collection pointing to collection_1. > > > > Index on collection_2, then : > > > /collections?action=CREATEALIAS&name=collectionalias&collections=collection_2 > > > > "collectionalias" now is an alias to collection_2. > > > > > http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud#Managing_collections_via_the_Collections_API > > Awesome idea, Andre!
