ZFS File System for SOLR 3.6 and SOLR 4

[abhi Abhishek <ab...@gmail.com>]

Hello,
         i am trying to use ZFS as filesystem for my Linux Environment. are
there any performance implications of using any filesystem other than
ext-3/ext-4 with SOLR?

Thanks in Advance

Best Regards,
Abhishek

How is performance on XFS when compared to ext4?

Large file systems seem to work well in both. I think the underlying
hardware does actually matter too. SSD vs HDD vs Y.

Several people love XFS at Amazon:

Is the an advantage for Xfs over ext4 for Solr ? Anyone done testing?

That should work with no problem.

The only time Solr tends to have problems is if you try to use a network
filesystem.  As long as it's a local filesystem and it implements
everything a program can typically expect from a local filesystem, Solr
should work perfectly.

Because of the compatibility problems that the license for ZFS has with
the GPL, ZFS on Linux is probably not as well tested as other
filesystems like ext4, xfs, or btrfs, but I have not heard about any big
problems, so it's probably safe.

Thanks,
