Setting up Solr Replica on different machine

[Zheng Lin Edwin Yeo <ed...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am planning to set up Solr with replica on different machine. How should
I go about configuring the setup? Like for example, should the replica node
be started on the host machine, or on the replica machine?

I will be setting this in Solr 7.3.1.

Regards,
Edwin

Hi Shawn,

Yes, I am using SolrCloud.

The multiple replicas on the same machine is only for testing.

Regards,
Edwin

What would you be trying to achieve by putting multiple replicas on the 
same machine?  I don't think that makes any sense at all.

Is this SolrCloud?

In SolrCloud, there's no master and no slave.  Also, no "host" and 
"replica."  All copies of the index, including the leaders, are called 
replicas.

For standalone Solr, you're almost certainly going to want master/slave 
replication, unless you want to update multiple independent copies.  
There are a few advantages to independently updating replicas, but the 
indexing software is necessarily more complex.

Thanks,
Shawn
