Fix Version/s: (was: 4.7)
4.8
> Developer Curb Appeal: Better options than the manual copy step, and doc
> changes
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-4434
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4434
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SolrCloud
> Affects Versions: 4.1
> Reporter: Mark Bennett
> Fix For: 4.8
>
>
> We make developers manually copy the example directory to a named shard
> directory.
> Doc references:
> http://lucidworks.lucidimagination.com/display/solr/Getting+Started+with+SolrCloud
> http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud
> Sample commands:
> cp -r example shard1
> cp -r example shard2
> The doc is perhaps geared towards a developer laptop, so in that case you
> really would need to make sure they have different names.
> But if you're running on a more realistic multi-node system, let's say 4
> nodes handling 2 shards, the the actual shard allocation (shard1 vs. shard2)
> will be fixed by the order each node is started in FOR THE FIRST TIME.
> At a minimum, we should do a better job of explaining the somewhat arbitrary
> nature of the destination directories, and that the start order is what
> really matters.
> We should also document that the actual shard assignment will not change,
> regardless of the name, and where this information is persisted?
> Could we have an intelligent guess as to what template directory to use, and
> do the copy when the node is first started.
> It's apparently also possible to startup the first Solr node with no cores
> and just point it at a template. This would be good to document. There's
> currently a bug in the Web UI if you do this, but I'll be logging another
> JIRA for that.
> When combined with all the other little details of bringing up Solr Cloud
> nodes, this is confusing to a newcomer and midly annoying. Other engines
> don't require this.
