Solr Cloud Questions

[AdityaR <ad...@gmail.com>]

Hi, 

I have created a solr cloud and have started using it , I have few questions
regarding the set up and it would be really helpful if someone can answer
these. 

Use Case: We have many clients and each clients data is in his own
collection, we currently have 10 server cloud and have distributed clients
on them ( 5 shards for each collection and replicationFactor =2)

1) Since we are adding new clients, it will only be matter of time before we
have no space on the 10 servers, when this happens what options do I have? 

2) Lets say one of the 10 servers crashes and had to be replaced by a
different server, if I add a new server into the cloud will this new server
have the same data as the one that crashed. Meaning does the data get moved
into the new server. 

3) Are there any monitoring tools for monitoring solr cloud, I have looked
at SPM by sematext and new relic , but am having issues with both the tools. 

Thanks, 
Aditya

1) Depends on your document routing strategy. It sounds like you could
be using the compositeId strategy and if so, there's still a hash
range assigned to each shard, so you can split the big shards into
smaller shards.

2) Since you're replicating in 2 places, when one of your servers
crash, there will still be one copy of the shard. When the new server
comes online, you should specify -Dshard=ID and the data will be
pulled over from the healthy replica using good ol' snapshot
replication. btw: ID is the shard Id of the server that crashed

3) No comment on this ;-) Post back if you find a good one.
