Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-561:
-----------------------------------
bq. If Solr crashes while downloading that will leave unnecessary/incomplete
files in the index directory.
If we don't want to try and pick up from where we left off, it seems like
Lucene's deletion policy can clean up old index files that are unreferenced.
> Solr replication by Solr (for windows also)

> 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
> * From a development perspective, we can unit test it
> This issue can track the implementation of solr replication in java
