Shalin Shekhar Mangar commented on SOLR-561:
--------------------------------------------

Does anybody really do things like "first tuesday of each month" for polling 
the Solr master? The slave's poll is usually set to run every few minutes. 
Atleast that's how we use it in our production environments. Quartz is nice but 
the thing is that we don't need all those features. A timer task is good enough 
for our needs.

Yes, hh:MM:ss represents time but it isn't difficult to view it as a countdown 
timer. It's definitely easier to understand than specifying number of 
seconds/minutes as an integer for a poll interval. What do you think?

>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: replication
>    Affects Versions: 1.3
>         Environment: All
>            Reporter: Noble Paul

> 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
