Mark Miller commented on SOLR-5381: ----------------------------------- bq. The first step is to store the shards information in separate nodes and each node can just listen to the shard node it belongs to. We may also need to split each collection into its own node and the clusterstate.json just holding the names of the collections . We actually used to have a very fine grained layout similar to this - it had some advantages, but it was *very* expensive it turned out, because of having to do so many calls to load the state. I was also never very happy with the number watchers that we were juggling. I think we want to find the right balance, or perhaps see if ZooKeeper has gained the ability to read multiple nodes in a single call. > Split Clusterstate and scale > ----------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-5381 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5381 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SolrCloud > Reporter: Noble Paul > Assignee: Noble Paul > Original Estimate: 2,016h > Remaining Estimate: 2,016h > > clusterstate.json is a single point of contention for all components in > SolrCloud.
