Hi, I understand that the Rsync is a Unix/Linux daemon thread which needs to be enable/run to achieve Solr Collection Distribution. Do we have any similar support for the Solr Collection Distribution in the Windows environment or Do we need to write equivalent commands (in the form of batch files) which will do the same steps as the shell scripts placed under solr/bin folder.
Thanks in advance.

I dont' know if that's available on Windows. All the distribution scripts were developed and tested under Unix/Linux. They may or may not work on Windows. I don't know much about Windows so if you are running on Windows that I am the wrong person to be asking help. You may want to use the mailing list to see if anyone is doing collection distribution on Windows. Solr is accessed through HTTP so you just need to use HTTP (for example, IE) on a Windows system to access a Solr server.

I understand that the rsync is a deamon thread (similar to services in Windows). Im not clear about what are the things/steps required to set up this rysncd deamon thread? (Dont mind asking this question againg since im not very much clear about this) Does it mean that the SOLR servers(both master and slave) should be made running on a unix/linux machine only? How does a client (using Windows environment) able to access the SOLR Server running on Unix/Platform? Any links/references would be of great help. Thanks in advance.

All the distribution scripts have a command line argument for specifying the data directory. > > 2)Can i get some more information about how to start this rsyncd daemon > and > which is the best way of doing it i.e. to start during system reboot or > doing it manually? Please note that the rsyncd -CollectionDistributionScripts#head-1e6cdce516ecf1eb31bffceaccf2abeb72bd ce81 So it is best to configure the master server to run the rsyncd-start script at system boot time. If the rsync daemon has for some reasons been disabled, it will not be started automatically at system reboot even if it is configured to do so. If rsyncd is started manually, then one will have to remember to start it every time the master server is rebooted. > > 3)Let me know if my understanding is correct.

Is it the Application server which > calls the Master SOLR Server > acts as slave server? Both the master and slave are SOLR servers. Typically they are on different machines. It doesn't make sense (at least not to me) to have both of them on the same machine. > > 4)I observe the file scripts.conf for master server: > solr_port=8983 > rsyncd_port=18983 > > +Enable and start rsync: > rsyncd-enable; rsyncd-start > +Run snapshooter: > snapshooter > > Just to confirm is it mandatory that the solr master server should have > the solr_port as 8983 only?

How to start rsyncd at system boot time and setup crontab to run snappuller and snapinstaller depends on the OS that Solr is running on. > > > > Regards, > Dilip TS > Starmark Services Pvt. Ltd. > >
