I don't know anything about LifeRay (never heard of it), but it sounds like you've actually figured out what you need to know about LifeRay, all you've got left is: "how to replicate the writer solr server content into the readers."
This should tell you how: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrReplication You'll need to find and edit the configuration files for the Solr's involved -- if you don't normally do that because LifeRay hides em from you, you'll need to find em. But it's a straightforward Solr feature (since 1.4), replication. ________________________________________ From: Roman, Pablo [pablo.ro...@uhn.ca] Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2011 12:10 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: need some guidance about how to configure a specific solr solution. Hi There, I am IT and work on a project based on Liferary 605 with solr-3.2 like the indexer/search engine. I presently have only one server that is indexing and searching but reading the Liferay Support suggestions they point to the need of having: - 2 to n SOLR read-server for searching from any member of the liferay cluster - 1 SOLR write-server where all liferay cluster members write. However, going down to detail to implement that on the liferay side I think I know how to do that which is inserting into the plugin for Solr this entries solr-spring.xml in the WEB-INF/classes/META-INF folder. Open this file in a text editor and you will see that there are two entries which define where the Solr server can be found by Liferay: <bean id="indexSearcher" class="com.liferay.portal.search.solr.SolrIndexSearcherImpl"> <property name="serverURL" value="http://localhost:8080/solr/select" /> </bean> <bean id="indexWriter" class="com.liferay.portal.search.solr.SolrIndexWriterImpl"> <property name="serverURL" value="http://localhost:8080/solr/update" /> </bean> However, I don't know how to replicate the writer solr server content into the readers. Please can you provide advice about that? Thanks, Pablo This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.
