Shalin Shekhar Mangar updated SOLR-561: --------------------------------------- Description: 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 * From a development perspective, we can unit test it This issue can track the implementation of solr replication in java was: The current replication strategy in solr involves shell scripts .
