As I am some kinda confused, I wanna check if anyone else has same confusions like mine about solrcloud..
I have set up an environment with 3 solr instances and 2 zookeepers, amd tried to index some documents from mysql db. the total amount the docs are around 3.5M. before indexing i was expecting some longer time for cloud as it does replication between nodes, but i am some kinda disappointed after seeing that indexing took 4 to 5 times higher than indexing on a single solr instance. on a single solr instance i am able to index those docs around 17 mins while with cloud it tooks around 60 minutes. and as a possible production environment will have more instances and machines available for the cloud, i cant imagine the indexing time... in adiditon to initial indexing time, we will be updating our indexes frequently, which makes me sceptical about solrcloud. so in a possible production environment with solrcloud, in case there is a serious failure on some nodes, sync operation on cloud will take long time... in this case, reindexing everything on a single instance will took less than 17 mins, which is a reasonable amount of time for a crash.. so in this case does it make sense use solrcloud although indexing time will increase much higher than a single instance? or using a traditional master - slave structure will be better for this case? I am aware cloud makes loadbalancing and some other stuff largely concerned about searching, rather than indexing, but for a frequently updated system, does it still useful to set up a cloud environment? and are there some workarounds for indexing speed, other than the known ones for solr, on cloud? ----- Zeki ama calismiyor...
