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/

> 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
