Otis Gospodnetic commented on SOLR-561:
---------------------------------------
I think so. You already started doing that with your comment from 04/Jun.
2 quick thoughts:
* Does it make sense to support regular expressions in that confFiles file
list? Something a la FileFilter -
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/FileFilter.html
* I like the backup idea. :) As a matter of fact, I'd make backups with
timestamps, so we don't have just one backup, but have a bit of history.
Backups > N days old can be periodically deleted either as part of this
java-based replication mechanism, or via a cron job
> 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
> Attachments: SOLR-561.patch, SOLR-561.patch
>
>
> 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
