Solr replication by Solr (for windows also)
-------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-561
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-561
Project: Solr
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: replication
Affects Versions: 1.3
Environment: All
Reporter: Noble Paul
Fix For: 1.3
The current replication strategy in solr involves shell scripts . The following
are the drawbacks with the approach
* It does not work with windows
* Replication works as a separate piece not integrated with solr.
* Cannot control replication from solr admin/JMX
* Each operation requires manual telnet to the host
Doing the replication in java has the following advantages
* Platform independence
* Manual steps can be completely eliminated. Everything can be driven from
solrconfig.xml .
** Adding the url of the master in the slaves should be good enough to enable
replication. Other things like frequency of
snapshoot/snappull can also be configured . All other information can be
automatically obtained.
* Start/stop can be triggered from solr/admin or JMX
* Can get the status/progress while replication is going on. It can also abort
an ongoing replication
* No need to have a login into the machine
This issue can track the implementation of solr replication in java
