Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-11166: ------------------------------------- Something that might be hard to deal with on an index using the router described here: Reindexes. > Create a new router to automate time-based sharding > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-11166 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11166 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public) > Components: SolrCloud > Reporter: Shawn Heisey > > There has been some interest in time-based sharding on the mailing list. It > is disappointing to have to inform users that if they want to implement this, > they will be entirely responsible for all shard management. > I think that creating new shards and directing new documents to the newest > shard will be relatively easy parts of this router. There are some > additional features that I think would be really useful: > Automated merging of older shards into larger time periods. > Some kind of aliasing to allow searching today, yesterday, this week, last > week, this month, last month, and so on, with the list of searched shards > changing when a new shard is created. I don't know if this would be part of > the router or implemented elsewhere by another issue. > The router should have a configuration option to indicate how frequently new > shards should be created. Valid values should probably be hourly, daily, > weekly, and monthly. Multiples of those time periods would be a very good > idea. Another idea to consider: completely custom time periods. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
