In python for example this is done automatically. It would be better if each php-server has a different order of an array of [list of solr ips]. This way each box will contact a ~different solr instance, and will have better chance of not creating too may new connections (since the connection cache is per-url/ip). > > I guess I'm going to find out. :-) If so I might be better off just > running Apache on all my solr instances. > I've done that before (though with es, but it's ~same). And just contacting the localhost solr. The problem with that, is that if the solr on the current host fails, your php won't work. So best in this scenario is to have an array of hosts, but the first being the local solr. > > > > > > On 14 December 2016 at 07:08, Dorian Hoxha <dorian.ho...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > See replies inline: > > > > On Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 11:16 AM, GW <thegeofo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Hello folks, > > > > > > I'm about to set up a Web service I created with PHP/Apache <--> Solr > > Cloud > > > > > > I'm hoping to index a bazillion documents. > > > > > ok , how many inserts/second ? > > > > > > > > I'm thinking about using Linode.com because the pricing looks great. > Any > > > opinions?? > > > > > Pricing is 'ok'.
