David - It depends on what "distributed" means in your question.
If you're looking for high availability, that can be accomplished through typical load balancing schemes for the servlet container that's running solr. Solr helps out in this respect with a replication scheme using rsync that keeps the indexes updated on all load-balanced nodes. If you're looking for support for bigger indexes that don't fit inside one solr instance (multiple solr instances = one search index), it's presently not available (as far as I know.) Work has progressed in the area of federated search (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FederatedSearch). There are many challenges to accomplishing this; the wiki outlines where progress has been made. -- j On 6/3/07, David Xiao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello all, Is there distributed support in Solr search engine? For example install solr instance on different server and have them load balanced. Anyway, any suggestion/experience about Solr distributed search topic is appreciated. Regards, David
