I'm wondering some time ago if it's possible have replicas of a shard synchronized but in an state that they can't accept queries only updates.
This replica in "replication" mode only awake to accept queries if it's the last alive replica and goes to replication mode when other replica becomes alive and synchronized. The motivation of this is simple, I want have replication but I don't want have n replicas actives with full resources allocated (cache and so on). This is usefull in enviroments where replication is needed but a high query throughput is not fundamental and the resources are limited. I know that right now is not possible, but I think that it's a feature that can be implemented in a easy way creating a new status for shards. The bottom line question is, I'm the only one with this kind of requeriments? Does it make sense one functionality like this? ----- Best regards -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Proposal-for-new-feature-cold-replicas-brainstorming-tp4097501.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
