I have a SolrCloud cluster holding 4 collections, each with with 3 shards and replication factor = 2. They all live on 2 machines, and I am currently using this setup for testing.
However, i would like to connect this test setup to our live application, just for benchmarking and evaluating if it can handle the big qpm number. I am planning also to setup a new machine, and add new nodes manually, one more replica for each shard on the new machines, in case the first two have problems handling the big qpm. But what i would like to do is after I set up the new nodes, to shut down the new machine and only put it back in the cluster if it's needed. Thus, getting to the title of this mail: After re adding the 3rd machine to the cluster, will the replicas be automatically synced with the leader, or do i need to manually trigger this somehow ? Is there a better idea for having this sleeping replicas? I bet lots of people faced this problem, so a best practice must be out there. ----- Thanks, Michael -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Replication-after-re-adding-nodes-to-cluster-sleeping-replicas-tp4098764.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
