Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-8081: ----------------------------------- Well, that's up to the IT guys that provision the servers by choosing a sutitable RAID level or other similar technology to present a large single, virtual volume to the application. Thus we do not need to worry how Solr utilize single disks, that is taken care of at OS level. > When creating a collection, we need a way to utilize multiple disks available > on a node. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-8081 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8081 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SolrCloud > Reporter: Timothy Potter > > Currently, if I want to change the dataDir for a core (such as to utilize > multiple disks on a Solr node), I need to either setup a symlink or change > the dataDir property in core.properties and restart the Solr node. For > instance, if I have a 4-node SolrCloud cluster and want to create a > collection with 4 shards with rf=2, then 8 Solr cores will be created across > the cluster, 2 per node. If I want to have each core use a separate disk, > then I have to do that after the fact. I'm aware that I could create the > collection with rf=1 and then use AddReplica to add additional replicas with > a different dataDir set, but that feels cumbersome as well. > What would be nice is to have a way for me to specify available disks and > have Solr use that information when provisioning cores on the node. > [~anshumg] mentioned this might be best accomplished with a replica placement > strategy. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
