Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-561:
-----------------------------------
I didn't catch earlier how reservations were done: currently, the commit point
is reserved for a certain time when the file list is initially fetched. This
requires that the user estimate how long a snap pull will last, and if they get
it wrong things will fail. On the other side, setting the time high requires
more free disk space.
It seems like renewing a lease (a short term reservation) whenever an access is
done would solve both of these problems (and is what I initially had in mind).
All requests should indicate what commit point is being copied so that the
lease can be extended.

> 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
