If you don't need near real-time index freshness, why are you implementing Solr Cloud? It is harder to set up and adds functionality you are not using. Solr Cloud is designed for a fully live index, not offline indexing.
Also, I don't understand why people do this complicated offline build and swapping stuff. That is precisely what replication already does for you and it is built-in. You build an index on one system and swap it in over the network. wunder On Jun 14, 2014, at 12:29 PM, "Branham, Jeremy [HR]" <jeremy.d.bran...@sprint.com> wrote: > We are looking to move from legacy master/slave configuration to the cloud > configuration. > > In the past we have handled rebuilding cores by using a 'live' core and a > core for performing the rebuild on. > When a rebuild is complete, we swap the rebuilt core with the live core. > > Is this still a good way to do offline rebuilding when using cloud? > > Full re-indexing on our largest index only takes 25 min. > > Thanks! > > > Jeremy Branham >
