Re: HDP Search - Configuration & Data Directories

2018-06-07 Thread Cassandra Targett
The documentation for HDP Search is online (and included in the package
actually). This page has the descriptions for the Ambari parameters:
https://doc.lucidworks.com/lucidworks-hdpsearch/3.0.0/Guide-Install-Ambari.html
.

HDP Search is a package developed by Lucidworks but distributed by
Hortonworks, so Shawn is right, you should go through them for further
questions.

The text strings "solr_config_conf_dir" and "solr_config_data_dir" do
not appear anywhere in the Lucene/Solr source code, even if I use a
case-insensitive grep. Which must mean that it is specific to the
third-party software you are using.  You'll need to ask your question to
the people who make that third-party software.

The log4j config is not in zookeeper.  That will be found on each
server.  That file configures the logging framework at the JVM level, it
is not specifically for Solr.

Thanks,
Shawn

- Within the various Solr config settings on Ambari, I am a bit confused
on the role of "solr_config_conf_dir" parameter. At the moment, it only
contains log4j.properties file. As HDPSearch is mainly meant to be used
with SolrCloud, wondering what is the significance of this directory as the
configurations are always maintained on ZooKeeper.

HDP Search - Configuration & Data Directories

2018-06-07 Thread Greenhorn Techie
Hi,

A quick question on configuring Solr with Hortonworks HDP. I have installed
HDP and then installed HDP Search using the steps described under the link
-
https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.6.4/bk_solr-search-installation/content/hdp-search30-install-mpack.html


I have used the link from lucidworks to configure various parameters
exposed on Ambari -
https://doc.lucidworks.com/lucidworks-hdpsearch/3.0.0/Guide-Install-Ambari.html#_startup-option-reference


   - Within the various Solr config settings on Ambari, I am a bit confused
   on the role of "solr_config_conf_dir" parameter. At the moment, it only
   contains log4j.properties file. As HDPSearch is mainly meant to be used
   with SolrCloud, wondering what is the significance of this directory as the
   configurations are always maintained on ZooKeeper.
   - Another question is when the indexes for SolrCloud collections are
   stored on HDFS, what is the significance of "solr_config_data_dir"? Is
   the solr_config_data_dir directory used ONLY for collections for which
   directory factory settings are set to local? If so, is it safe to assume
   that this is not needed when HDFS is being used?

Thanks​
