New to Solr - Need advice on clustering
Hi Solr-users
I’m trying to setup Solr for search and indexing on the project I’m working on.
My project is a e-commerce B2B solution. We are planning on setting up 2 frontend servers for the website, and I was planning on installing Solr on these servers. We are using Windows Server 2012 for the frontend servers.
We are not expecting a huge load on the servers, so we expect these 2 servers to be adequate to handle both the website and search index.
I have been looking at SolrCloud and ZooKeeper. Howver I have read that you need at least 3 ZooKeepers in an ensamble, and I only have 2 servers.
I need to handle the situation where one of the servers crashes, so I need both servers to have a Solr index.
Do you have any advise on the best setup for my situation?
Thank you for your help.
Regards
Anders Olsen

Anders,
Take a look at Solr Replication. Essentially, you'll treat one as a master
& one as a slave. Both master & slave can be used to serve traffic. If one
of them goes down, the other can be used as a master for the interim.

Hi Gora
Thank you for your reply.
We are planning on having a loadbalancer in front of our frontend servers.
If I have two distinct solr indexes, how will I keep them synchronized? I
expect that one of the frontend servers will have the task of updating the
product repository on the e-commerce site. This server will then update the
local solr index after product update has finished.
Is there an easy way that I can keep the two indexes synchronized without
solrcloud?
Regards
Anders

If you do not want to get into SolrCloud, a simpler
solution might be a HTTP load balancer in front of
the two Solr instances. Hardware load balancers are
better, but more expensive. A software load balancer
like haproxy should meet your needs.

If you do not want to get into SolrCloud, a simpler
solution might be a HTTP load balancer in front of
the two Solr instances. Hardware load balancers are
better, but more expensive. A software load balancer
like haproxy should meet your needs.
