Summary: Shared storage support in SolrCloud
Key: SOLR-13101
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13101
Project: Solr
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Components: SolrCloud
Reporter: Yonik Seeley
Solr should have first-class support for shared storage (blob/object stores
like S3, google cloud storage, etc. and shared filesystems like HDFS, NFS, etc).
The key component will likely be a new replica type for shared storage. It
would have many of the benefits of the current "pull" replicas (not indexing on
all replicas, all shards identical with no shards getting out-of-sync, etc),
but would have additional benefits:
- Any shard could become leader (the blob store always has the index)
- Better elasticity scaling down
- durability not linked to number of replcias.. a single replica could be
common for write workloads
- could drop to 0 replicas for a shard when not needed (blob store always
has index)
- Allow for higher performance write workloads by skipping the transaction log
- don't pay for what you don't need
- a commit will be necessary to flush to stable storage (blob store)
- A lot of the complexity and failure modes go away
An additional component a Directory implementation that will work well with
blob stores. We probably want one that treats local disk as a cache since the
latency to remote storage is so large. I think there are still some "locking"
issues to be solved here (ensuring that more than one writer to the same index
won't corrupt it). This should probably be pulled out into a different JIRA
issue.
