Mike Klaas updated SOLR-551: ---------------------------- Fix Version/s: (was: 1.3) > SOlr replication should include the schema also > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-551 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-551 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: replication > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: Noble Paul > > The current Solr replication just copy the data directory . So if the > schema changes and I do a re-index it will blissfully copy the index > and the slaves will fail because of incompatible schema. > So the steps we follow are > * Stop rsync on slaves > * Update the master with new schema > * re-index data > * forEach slave > ** Kill the slave > ** clean the data directory > ** install the new schema > ** restart > ** do a manual snappull > The amount of work the admin needs to do is quite significant > (depending on the no:of slaves). These are manual steps and very error > prone > The solution : > Make the replication mechanism handle the schema replication also. So > all I need to do is to just change the master and the slaves synch > automatically > What is a good way to implement this? > We have an idea along the following lines > This should involve changes to the snapshooter and snappuller scripts > and the snapinstaller components > Everytime the snapshooter takes a snapshot it must keep the timestamps > of schema.xml and elevate.xml (all the files which might affect the > runtime behavior in slaves) > For subsequent snapshots if the timestamps of any of them is changed > it must copy the all of them also for replication. > The snappuller copies the new directory as usual > The snapinstaller checks if these config files are present , > if yes, > * It can create a temporary core > * install the changed index and configuration > * load it completely and swap it out with the original core -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
