Eric Pugh commented on SOLR-4718:
---------------------------------
So what about just making ZooKeeper a core part of Solr? Whether you are
running traditional Solr, or running Solr Cloud, you still use ZooKeeper?
I remember when we had either single core, or multiple core support in Solr
back in version 1.4... And the logic was always "if single core, do X, else
if multicore, then do Y". And eventually we moved to multicore everywhere,
just sometimes you have a single core.
So maybe everything is always in ZK, and the question is, is it a embedded ZK,
which should be fine for typical use cases, or is it external ZK that you would
want in a big setup. Eliminate this constant "am I in ZK or not"? Just
always use ZK.

> Key: SOLR-4718
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4718
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Schema and Analysis
> Affects Versions: 4.3, 5.0
> Reporter: Erick Erickson
> Assignee: Erick Erickson
>
> So the near-final piece of this puzzle is to make solr.xml be storable in
> Zookeeper. Code-wise in terms of Solr, this doesn't look very difficult, I'm
> working on it now.
> More interesting is how to get the configuration into ZK in the first place,
> enhancements to ZkCli? Or boostrap-conf? Other? I'm punting on that for this
> patch.
> Second level is how to tell Solr to get the file from ZK. Some possibilities:
> 1> A system prop, -DzkSolrXmlPath=blah where blah is the path _on zk_ where
> the file is. Would require -DzkHost or -DzkRun as well.
> > pros - simple, I can wrap my head around it.
> - easy to script
> > cons - can't run multiple JVMs pointing to different files. Is this
> really a problem?
> 2> New solr.xml element. Something like:
> <solr>
> <solrcloud>
> <str name="zkHost">zkurl</str>
> <str name="zkSolrXmlPath">whatever</str>
> </solrcloud>
> <solr>
> Really, this form would hinge on the presence or absence of zkSolrXmlPath.
> If present, go up and look for the indicated solr.xml file on ZK. Any
> properties in the ZK version would overwrite anything in the local copy.
> NOTE: I'm really not very interested in supporting this as an option for
> old-style solr.xml unless it's _really_ easy. For instance, what if the local
> solr.xml is new-style and the one in ZK is old-style? Or vice-versa? Since
> old-style is going away, this doesn't seem like it's worth the effort.
> pros - No new mechanisms
> cons - once again requires that there be a solr.xml file on each client.
> Admittedly for installations that didn't care much about multiple JVMs, it
> could be a stock file that didn't change...
> For now, I'm going to just manually push solr.xml to ZK, then read it based
> on a sysprop. That'll get the structure in place while we debate. Not going
> to check this in until there's some consensus though.
