Andrew Savory commented on SOLR-561: ------------------------------------ Shalin, I'm assuming that pollInterVal is intended to specify the frequency of replication. hh:MM:ss is universally recognizable for specifying a single time, certainly. But how do you represent "every hour", or "four times a day", or "the first tuesday of each month" with that notation? Certainly Windows doesn't have cron but we're talking about a pure java implementation, so that's not a problem. Quartz might be a perfect solution for scheduling: http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/ > Solr replication by Solr (for windows also) > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-561 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-561 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: replication > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Environment: All > Reporter: Noble Paul > > The current replication strategy in solr involves shell scripts . The > following are the drawbacks with the approach > * It does not work with windows > * Replication works as a separate piece not integrated with solr. > * Cannot control replication from solr admin/JMX > * Each operation requires manual telnet to the host > Doing the replication in java has the following advantages > * Platform independence > * Manual steps can be completely eliminated. Everything can be driven from > solrconfig.xml . > ** Adding the url of the master in the slaves should be good enough to enable > replication. Other things like frequency of > snapshoot/snappull can also be configured . All other information can be > automatically obtained. > * Start/stop can be triggered from solr/admin or JMX > * Can get the status/progress while replication is going on. It can also > abort an ongoing replication > * No need to have a login into the machine > This issue can track the implementation of solr replication in java -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
