Configuring multiple SOLR apps to play nice with MBeans / JMX
Hi,
I'm having a problem trying to get multiple solr applications to run in the
same servlet container because they all try to claim "solr" as a
name/category to put their mbeans under and that causes exceptions/crashes
for all the applications after the first.
I've read http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJmx and it shows configuration
options to define a JMX server agentID or to provide your own JMX url but i
don't want either. (i think)
I just want my webapps to show as "solr1", "solr2" and "solr3" when
monitoring them rather then all of them trying to race for "solr" and having
all of them after the first crash.
Right now I've disabled JMX and that works to get my apps started at least,
but it's not what i want either.
Anyone know how to configure solr to do this?
If a configuration option like <jmx name="solr1" /> exists that'd fix my
problem but i can't seem to find it in the documentation.
Thanks in advance,
Constantijn Visinescu

Wow, this sounds interesting. I never looked at JMX with multiple cores Solr instances.
I wonder if this calls for a new JIRA issue....

Hi,
Multicore lets me have me have multiple cores in a single instance.
However since i have 3 different webapps with embedded solr that means i
have 3 different instances of solr.
(and they're all trying to park their JMX MBeans under the same name, namely
solr)

Re: Configuring multiple SOLR apps to play nice with MBeans / JMX

Hi Constantijn,
I'm not too sure about the JMX monitoring side of things but having looked
at the Solr's MultiCore <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin>
feature it seems really simple to create multiple solr cores that could all
be configured to point
to one MBean server.
When creating a core you can specify name like solr1, solr2:
http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=solr_01&instanceDir=/etc/solr/multicore/core2&config=solrconfig.xml&schema=schema.xml&dataDir=data
This is made possible due to the fact that each core can have it's own
solrconfig.xml
See example/multicore/ in your solr distribution.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Charl Mert

Don't know about other servlet containers, but i can confirm Resin 3 breaks
if you try to load 2 completely independent webapps into it that both use
solr with jmx enabled.
I also had a similar issue with Blaze DS (library for flash remoting that
I'm using to power the UI for my webapp), but Blaze DS uses the display-name
from the web.xml to register MBeans under. So making sure each webapp had a
different display name fixed that issue.
However solr always insists in using "solr" regardless of ... well pretty
much everything ;)
here's a part of the stack trace for informational purposes:
13:23:19,572 WARN JmxMonitoredMap:139 - Failed to register info bean:
org.apache.solr.highlight.HtmlFormatter
javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException:

note1:
I get a bunch of these, one for every mbean
note2:
I did notice the javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException that suggests it
means the mentioned Mbean doesn't exist. However if i enable jmx for any one
of my applications everything works. However if i enable it for more then
one then one webapp it starts giving these errors for every webapp after the
first that gets loaded. That and my experiences with fixing this same error
under Blaze DS suggests to me a very high likelyhood of some sort of name
collision going on.

Honestly: I thought the hierarchical nature of JMX would mean that

It doesn't, but it would probably be pretty trivial to add if you want to
take a stab at a patch for it.
