Hi all, We are currently conducting a POC for external file fields in a Solr Cloud environment for optimizing the speed of indexing at our end.
*Our Prod Environment:* Solr version: v9.6.1 No. of nodes: 8 No. of shards: 63 Total Index size: 240 GB RAM on each node: 50 GB Heap on each node: 12 GB We would like to know if there are any recommended best practices for the following: 1. Do we have any limitations on the type of fields we can use in an external file? 2. Any Performance-related points to take care of? 3. Ensuring data consistency in external files? 4. Managing fault tolerance effectively [By maintaining replicas]? 5. How are these external files treated while we use Backup APIs? Please let us know, if you need any other information related to this.
