Custom replica placement possible during collection restore

["Kommu, Vinodh K." <vk...@dtcc.com>]

Hi,

Would it be possible to restore a collection with replica placement into specific nodes/VMs in the cluster? I guess by default restore feature may not work in such custom way so by any chance can we modify those code details in collection_state.json file in backup directory to place replicas on specific nodes/VMs?

Perhaps it may not be recommended way but would like to know whether this approach will work at all?

Thanks & Regards,
Vinodh

Hey Vinodh,

I’d have to check the backup/restore process. But I believe that the
state.json file does get exported. If that is the case then the nodesets
should be persisted.

Thanks,
Sean
