I've followed a host of past threads on this subject and am trying to determine what's best for our implementation. For those who've chimed in on this, I think I'm just looking for a good summary (as Hoss recently mentioned, perhaps a FAQ).
We presently have one index running under Solr/Tomcat55/Linux, which is continually growing in size. I have a need to add two other separate indexes (or is it indices?), which would all carry separate configs. One will be small and won't change, the other will grow in size. For redundancy, I expect to get into the Solr distribution model. Collectively, all three indexes will venture into the 2GB range, so nothing to extensive. All things considered -- jvm memory management, availability, other things I've left off the list -- are there any determinations of best practice for deployment under the topic of "multiple index/multiple instance"? Any specific recommendations for the given details I've provided here? thanks, j
