Solr cloud Some basic questions

[Abhishek tiwari <ab...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I would like to move single instance Solr setup to solr cloud  as my data
is growing to many millions.

How should i proceed .

a) should i use  the architecture  single machine , multiple shard or
multiple machine , multiple shard ?

b) In what basis i should create shard and replicas

c) Zookeeper installation should be separate or like wiki inbuilt .

Start by simply experimenting with 2 shards and 2 replicas - 4 nodes. And 
just run zk on the nodes themselves for simple experiments. It's better to 
deploy zk separate from the Solr nodes, but for simple testing it shouldn't 
matter. Get experience with SolrCloud using a simple configuration before 
going wild.

You can also have more than 2 shards and put more than one shard on a node 
to allow for easier expansion.
