Hello Solr Community,
Greetings ! This is my first post to this group.
I am very new to solr, so please do not mind if some of my questions below
sound dumb :)
Let me explain my present setup:
Solr version : Solr_4.4.0
Zookeeper version: zookeeper-3.4.5
-----------------------------
Present Setup
Unix_box_1
One Solr instance (Collection 1 : contains around 24 million indexed documents)
running on port 8983
--------------------------------------------
Target setup
Now as the number of users are going to increase and also we are looking for
high availability, I am thinking of setting up solr cloud with the following
setup:
Unix box 1
zookeeper 1 (master)
Solr instance 1 (Shard 1 - leader node)
--------
Unix_box_2
zookeeper 2
Solr instance 2 (Shard 2)
--------
Unix_box_3
zookeeper 3
Solr instance 3 (Replica for Shard 1)
--------
Unix_box_4
Solr instance 4 (Replica for Shard 2)
--------
========================================================================================
Now following are my queries:
1) Is it possible for me to split the present solr running on one node with 24
million docs under Collection1 into 2 shards as shown above ?
2) If yes how can I achieve this, and approximately how long does it take ?
3) For my application to fetch the result from solr, I need to give one solr
url meaning http://Unix_box_1:8983/solr . In this case if I have some docs on
shard2 (which is on Unix_box_2) and some on shard1 (Unix_box_1), will my search
result in the application fetch docs from both the shards and combine the
result ?
=========================================================================================
Thank you for your patience and time.
Regards,
Ashwin
