Hi,
I'm new to SolrCloud , trying to set up a test environment based on
the wiki documentation. Based on the example, the setup and sample indexing
/ query works fine. But I need some pointers on the best practices of
indexing / querying in SolrCloud. For e.g. I've 2 shards, with 1 leader and
a corresponding replica each. Lets say, each of them are running on their
dedicated servers.
Now, I'm using SolrJ client (CloudSolrServer) to send documents for
indexing. Based on SolrCloud fundamentals, I can send the document to any
of the four servers or to a specific shard id. Is it advisable to use the
server information directly into the client ? In case the specific node
goes down, then indexing will fail. Is it recommended to have a load
balancer (Haproxy , ELB in Amazon) for the indexing purpose ?
Same applies during query time. I know we can add a query parameter and
include all four server information. But then any change in the server
configuration will have an impact. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shamik
