Hello, We do have a running SolrCloud cluster, a simple set up of 4 nodes — 2 shards and 2 replicas and ≈ 140GB index. And now we have to move to another server and need to somehow copy existing index without downtime (if applicable).
New config is exactly the same, same 4 nodes, same collections and their own zookeeper. What options do we have? What I was thinking about is to add 2 nodes (from the new cluster, those that are supposed to be shards) as replicas for the existing old cluster and when the replication is done simply switch the app to use those new replicas. Then reconfigure these replicas and run them as shards with their own zookeper. So there will be minimal downtime just to restart the new cluster. My concerns are: * Will those new replicas be automatically populated with the index from the old cluster? * Will I then be able to disconnect them from the old cluster and run as primary shards with their own zookeper and then add their own replicas from the new cluster? Thank you, Alex -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SolrCloud-copy-the-index-to-another-cluster-tp4143759.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
