Yes it is. You can change the location of the Solr server in the administrator very easily - it defaults to localhost:8983 but you can have your 8 servers point at a single server by changing that entry. This is very easy to do.
Solr also supports collection replication - you can have one master collection and perhaps 8 slaves that will be poll for updates - put a load balancer in front of the slaves and you have an independently load balanced Solr cluster. This will require customizing the Solr config files for each of your collections (not possible through ColdFusion directly, but ColdFusion should continue to work). The customization isn't too difficult, just needs looking in the right place for documentation, etc. HTH Dominic On 22 July 2011 13:41, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > We have 8 load balanced CF servers running the same site, all of which need > to call the same Solr collection for a search page.
