I'm sitting here looking over some ideas and one thing just occurred to
me, what would be the benefits of using a MultiCore approache for
sharding vs. multiple instances of solr?
That is, say I wanted to have 3 shards on a single piece of hardware,
what would be the advantages / disadvantages of using 1 instance of Solr
with 3 cores, vs 3 instances of Solr. In the latter case, with the
additional thought of each in its own servlet container, or each as a
different webapp inside a single servlet container.
A few comparison I can think of right now are:
* 1 JVM in multicore vs. 3 in multi-instances, with 3 servlet
containers
* future possibility of dynamically allocating and loading of
additional cores in multicore
* snapshotting with MultiCore? I'm assuming that will just work, but
I haven't tested it yet.
* configuration may be the easiest and most maintainable with multicore ?
Any other thoughts people have on the subject? What considerations
would you use to decide between multicore vs. multiple instances ?
enjoy,
-jeremy
