Mark Miller commented on SOLR-4718:
-----------------------------------
bq. cons - can't run multiple JVMs pointing to different files. Is this really
a problem?
Hossman had a few cons he listed out in another issue - I don't think multiple
JVMs has a problem with system properties - it's running multiple Solr wars
within a single JVM that has a problem.
I think one simple idea to handle is this is something much like
solrcore.properties and solrconfig.xml. solrcore.properties is auto loaded and
used for sys prop resolution on solrconfig.xml - you could imagine the same
mechanism for solr.xml, but where the properties file is also picked up in a
local solr.home location.
Now you can put any local config overrides in this file.
It could be required that zkhost is put either in the properties file or passed
by sys prop.

> Key: SOLR-4718
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4718
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Schema and Analysis
> Affects Versions: 4.3, 5.0
> Reporter: Erick Erickson
> Assignee: Erick Erickson
>
> So the near-final piece of this puzzle is to make solr.xml be storable in
> Zookeeper. Code-wise in terms of Solr, this doesn't look very difficult, I'm
> working on it now.
> More interesting is how to get the configuration into ZK in the first place,
> enhancements to ZkCli? Or boostrap-conf? Other? I'm punting on that for this
> patch.
> Second level is how to tell Solr to get the file from ZK. Some possibilities:
> 1> A system prop, -DzkSolrXmlPath=blah where blah is the path _on zk_ where
> the file is. Would require -DzkHost or -DzkRun as well.
> > pros - simple, I can wrap my head around it.
> - easy to script
> > cons - can't run multiple JVMs pointing to different files. Is this
> really a problem?
> 2> New solr.xml element. Something like:
> <solr>
> <solrcloud>
> <str name="zkHost">zkurl</str>
> <str name="zkSolrXmlPath">whatever</str>
> </solrcloud>
> <solr>
> Really, this form would hinge on the presence or absence of zkSolrXmlPath.
> If present, go up and look for the indicated solr.xml file on ZK. Any
> properties in the ZK version would overwrite anything in the local copy.
> NOTE: I'm really not very interested in supporting this as an option for
> old-style solr.xml unless it's _really_ easy. For instance, what if the local
> solr.xml is new-style and the one in ZK is old-style? Or vice-versa? Since
> old-style is going away, this doesn't seem like it's worth the effort.
> pros - No new mechanisms
> cons - once again requires that there be a solr.xml file on each client.
> Admittedly for installations that didn't care much about multiple JVMs, it
> could be a stock file that didn't change...
> For now, I'm going to just manually push solr.xml to ZK, then read it based
> on a sysprop. That'll get the structure in place while we debate. Not going
> to check this in until there's some consensus though.
