Mark Bennett created SOLR-4442:
----------------------------------
Summary: Developer Curb Appeal: Consider bringing up Solr in Cloud
mode by default, or enable it with a single switch, or other system trivial
setting
Key: SOLR-4442
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4442
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: SolrCloud
Affects Versions: 4.1
Reporter: Mark Bennett
Fix For: 4.2
There's some talk that the days of single node search is dead. I don't quite
agree, but many people are doing multinode deployments, and other engines are
assuming distributed search by default.
Should we consider giving Solr this ability? Perhaps in 5.0?
Or at a minimum, have some other single switch or system setting or separate
jar that causes Solr to do all of it's magic Zookeeper stuff by default.
I've logged some other JIRA items to take care of some of the other things that
you currently need to specify when starting up 4.1. Until reasonable defaults
can be worked out, this auto-cloud mode wouldn't make as much sense.
Is there any harm in bringing up Solr with ZK even if you're only working on a
single machine? (assuming all the defaults are taken care of)
Or perhaps there would be some switches, effectively:
* -cloud = assume cloud mode
* -dev_cloud = turn on multicast, autoport selection
* -laptop_cloud = assume we're doing cloud, autoports, etc, except limit it to
localhost
I realize there's a lot of technical details here, but the current Solr startup
syntax and directories overhead makes it less appealing.
