We use Solr on sites with millions of page views a month on HTTP. With HTTP keep-alives, the overhead of an http request is minimal as compared to the actual search. You have the advantages of replication as well as the option of adding a http cache in front of Solr. Is there a performance problem you're trying to solve by using embedded solr? Now we are trying to deploy the app to a clustered environment. My question is: 1. Can we configure the embedded solr instances to share the same index on the network? Yes. It may be very slow though. Best to benchmark it before going to production. Also, you'll need to make sure that only one Solr instance is writing to the index at one time. It is better to have separate indexes. 2. If the answer to question 1 is no, can we configure embedded solr instances to replicate indexes in a master / slave fashion just like normal web based Solr? Yes you can use the script based replication. You'd need to expose a way to call commit on your application if you use embedded solr. -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
Re: Embedded Solr Clustering
Thanks Shalin and Avlesh for your responses. Yes we are using Solr for a non-traditional search purpose and the performance is critical. However it sounds like that sharing the same index could slow down reading / writing to the index. And access synchronization is tricky as well. Therefore, we might have to use a single web based Solr instance or use multiple embedded Solr instances and setup the script based replication. Thanks again for your help! born2fish wrote: Hi everyone, We have a web app that uses embedded solr for better performance. Now we are trying to deploy the app to a clustered environment.

Re: Embedded Solr Clustering
Can we configure the embedded solr instances to share the same index on the network? Yes, multiple EmbeddedSolrServer instances can point to the same core.
