So i am trying to setup an auto-scaling search system of ec2 solr-slaves
which scale up as number of requests increase and vice versa
Here is what I have
1. A solr master and underlying slaves(scalable). And an elastic load
balancer to distribute the load.
2. The ec2-auto-scaling setup fires nodes when traffic increases. However
the replication times(replication speed) for the index from the master
varies for these newly fired nodes.
3. I want to avoid addition of these nodes to the load balancer till it has
completed initial replication and has a warmed up cache.
For this I need to know a way I can check if the initial replication has
completed. and also a way of warming up the cache post this.
I can think of doing this via .. a shellscript/awk(checking times
replicated/index size) ... is there a cleaner way ?
Also on the side note .. any suggestions or pointers to how one set up their
scalable solr setup on cloud(AWS mainly) would be helpful.

Akshay
