Hello Solr community folks, I am doing some investigative work around how to roll and manage indexes inside our solr configuration, to date I've come up with an architecture that separates a set of masters that are focused on writes and get replicated periodically and a set of slave shards strictly docused on reads, additionally for each master index the design contains partial purges which get performed on each of the slave shards as well as the master to keep the data current. However the architecture seems a bit more complex than I'd like with a lot of moving pieces. I was wondering if anyone has ever handled/designed an architecture around a "conveyor belt" or rolling window of indexes around n days of data and if there are best practices around this. One thing I was thinking about was whether to keep a conveyor belt list of the slave shards and rotate them as needed and drop the master periodically and make its backup temporarily the master.
Anyways would love to hear thoughts and usecases that are similar from the community. Regards
