Joel Bernstein commented on SOLR-6266:
--------------------------------------

I reviewed Karol's contribution today, it looks great. Let's use this as our 
base implementation.

It looks like Karol has worked out a lot of details of how to embed the 
Couchbase API's and handle documents. This is excellent.

I think we need to take a step back and do some planning around two areas 
before iterating on what's here.

1) SolrCloud architecture. Some questions to think about:

How does the plugin work in the context of single collection?  Should it run in 
all replicas or just leaders?

How does the plugin work in the context of multiple collections sharing the 
same Solr nodes? Should there be a different CAPIServer running for each 
collection? Or should there be a CAPIServer per Solr node?

2) Error handling. We'll need to understand the different failure scenarios and 
have strategies for handling them. And we'll need to fully understand how the 
Couchbases API's account for failure scenarios.

I'll need to catch up on the Couchbase API's before I can weigh-in on these 
issue. I should have time to review the API's next week. In the meantime if 
anyone has any thoughts fire away.

> It would be great if users could connect Couchbase and Solr so that updates 
> to Couchbase can automatically flow to Solr. Couchbase provides some very 
> nice API's which allow applications to mimic the behavior of a Couchbase 
> server so that it can receive updates via Couchbase's normal cross data 
> center replication (XDCR).
> One possible design for this is to create a CouchbaseLoader that extends 
> ContentStreamLoader. This new loader would embed the couchbase api's that 
> listen for incoming updates from couchbase, then marshal the couchbase 
> updates into the normal Solr update process. 
> Instead of marshaling couchbase updates into the normal Solr update process, 
> we could also embed a SolrJ client to relay the request through the http 
> interfaces. This may be necessary if we have to handle mapping couchbase 
> "buckets" to Solr collections on the Solr side.
