We are going to have two datacenters, each with their own SolrCloud and ZooKeeper quorums. The end result will be that they should be replicas of each other.
One method that has been mentioned is that we should add documents to each cluster separately. For various reasons, this may not be ideal for us. Instead, we are playing around with the idea of always indexing to one datacenter. And then having that replicate to the other datacenter. And this is where I am having some trouble on how to proceed. The nice thing about SolrCloud is that there is no masters and slaves. Each node is equals, has the same configs, etc. But in this case, I want to have a node in one datacenter poll for changes in another data center. Before SolrCloud, I would have used slave/master replication. But in the SolrCloud world, I am not sure how to configure this setup? Or is there any better ideas on how to use replication to push or pull data from one datacenter to another? In my case, NRT is not a requirement. And I will also be dealing with about 3 collections and 5 or 6 shards.
