Hi Guys, I'm building an app on OpenBD, and I've built a crude, but functional search engine around it. I'm hosting on Windows 2003.
Everything works fine, in terms of deployment on the single server + a database server. However, I'm wanting to add multiple web servers. aka www1 www2 www3 Each webserver would be a Windows 2003 instance with OpenBD. They would all communicate with the same database server. My question is, how do I manage my lucene catalogs? Do I need to setup a seperate catalog server? As it stands right now, all of my catalogs are built on the webserver and manipulated locally. So if I were to deploy the app right now across several servers, each server would have it's own version of the catalog. I need all webservers searching and updating the same catalog. Any ideas on how to do this? Should I setup a standalone catalog server and have each webserver connect to it across the network? Or maybe have a core catalog on a standalone server, but have that catalog copied over to each webserver at certain intervals so that the webserver can search a local catalog vs the remote one? -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en !! save a network - please trim replies before posting !!
