Understanding solrcloud/multi-server loadbalancing
I have a solr 3.6 infrastructure with 4 server 24 cores/128GB (~15 shards at every server), 70 million documents. Now I set up a new solr 4 infrastructure with the same hardware. I reduce the shards and have only 6 shards. But I don't understand the difference between solrcloud and a multi-server loadbalancing. And if solrcloud the better way (more performance)? LoadBalancer - solrcloud (4 Nodes) LoadBalancer - 4 solr server with the same shards Is there a benefit of the solrcloud in this case? Regards, Torsten
Internal shard communication - performance?
Hi, I use a system with solr 3 and 20 shards (3 million docs per shard). At a testsystem with one shard (60 million docs) I get 750 requests per second. At my live system (20 shards) I get 200 requests per second. Is the internal communication between the 20 shards a performance killer? Another question. Is a solr 4 system with solrcloud and Zookeeper a high availability system? Regards, Torsten
Re: Internal shard communication - performance?
Hi Jack, I would like to run zookeeper external at my old master server. So I have two zookeeper to control my cloud. The third and fourth zookeeper will be a virtual machine. Torsten Von: Jack Krupansky Gesendet: ?Mittwoch?, ?7?. ?August? ?2013 ?20?:?05 An: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Three zookeepers give you bare minimum high availability - one can go down. But... I would personally assert that running embedded zookeeper is inherently not high availability, just by definition (okay, by MY definition.) You didn't say whether you were running embedded zookeeper or not. But if you were, to be HA, your cluster should be able to have all but one node per shard go down and your cluster should still service both queries and updates. But with embedded zookeeper on a four-node cluster, taking down two of the nodes running embedded zookeeper would make zookeeper no longer usable, and hence your cluster would not be HA. -- Jack Krupansky -Original Message- From: Torsten Albrecht Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2013 1:15 PM To: solr-user Subject: Internal shard communication - performance?

solr sizing
Hi all, we have - 70 mio documents to 100 mio documents and we want - 800 requests per second How many servers Amazon EC2/real hardware we Need for this? Solr 4.x with solr cloud or better shards with loadbalancer? Is anyone here who can give me some information, or who operates a similar system itself? Regards, Torsten
solr master server
Hi, I want to set up a master / slave configuration for solr 3.6 Is there a best practice for the Raid config and the Linux partitions for the master server? Cheers, Torsten
