Re: hybrid approach to using cloud servers for Solr/Lucene

Not sure if it's a good argument, but cost is the reason.

By keeping the base implementation in a permanent, local instance, cost is 
supposed to be less.

 Hi,
 
 Hm.  Everything is doable, but this sounds a bit
 undefined and possibly messy.  If flexibility is of
 such importance, why have the local part at all?  Why
 not have everything in an elastic cloud environment?

  I'm working on an app that could grow much faster and
 bigger than I could scale 
  local resources, at least on certain dates and for
 other reasons.
 
 So I'd 
  like to run a local machine in a dedicated host or
 even virtual machine at a 
  host.
 
 If the load goes up, then queries are sent to the cloud at
 a 
  certain point.
 
 Is this practical, anyone have experience in 
  this?
 
 This is obviously a search engine app based on solr/lucene
 if 
  someone is wondering.

Hello Dennis

If the load goes up, then queries are sent to the cloud at a certain
point.
My advice is to do load balancing between local and cloud.  Your local
system seems to be capable as it is a dedicated host. Another option is to
do indexing in local and sync it with cloud. Cloud will be only used for
search.

Hope it helps.
