Hi, We have to setup a billion document index using Apache Solr(about 2 billion docs). I need some assistance on choosing the right configuration for the environment setup. I have been going through the Solr documentation, but couldn't figure out what would be the best configuration for same.
Below is the configuration on one of the box we have, can you please assist if this will suffice our requirement. OS: SunOS RAM : 32GB Processor: 4 (SPARC64-VII+/2660Mhz) Server: Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 Desired System Requirements: Expected number of requests/day: 10,000 New Documents ingested/day: 1Million I have below questions on same: 1. Does the above system configuration seems ok for our requirement? 2. Is it ok if we host entire index on a single physical box or I should use multiple physical box? 3. Should I go for the simple installation or SolrCloud? 4. If I should use SolrCloud, then probably I may have to use some master/slave setup(not sure though)? What I have in mind is to use master for ingestion of new documents and slave for querying. Then at the end of the day I can have the replication to update the slaves? Can you please advise if this is a good approach and most importantly if this is feasible? On google, I could find that many people have already setup such environment, but I couldn't figure out the configuration they are using. If some can share their experience, then it will probably help others as well. Thanks! Regards, Pankaj Please do not print this email unless it is absolutely necessary.
