Multiple solr servers Vs Katta

[Karthik K <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I have about 20 indexes each of size around 30-35 GB. All of it is on one
machine and i want to make it searchable.
I can have about 5 solr servers each with 2-3 indexes merged and search on
different shards or use katta.
Please let me know which is the better option.

Thanks,
karthik

Hi,
I thought having around a TB of data to search is when katta should come
into picture.
Thanks a lot, can you please point me to or elaborate more on how to manage
increasing index. Any standard strategies?

This is nowhere near the volume of data where you would have to use
Katta. Katta has much more limited search and configuration features-
it is more a very distributed version of Lucene than a search server.
Solr has added a lot of features over and above Lucene.

To have 2 query servers for each index, we have 2*20*35gb/5 = 280gb of
index per server. This is a large Solr but many run much larger
systems. This should run fine on a server with 24-32G of ram and at
least 3 fast (10k SATA) disks in a raid.
