Enhance PollInterval for Java Replication
-----------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-1439
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1439
Project: Solr
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: replication (java)
Environment: ALL
Reporter: Bill Bell
Fix For: 1.4
I am not a huge fan of PollInterval. It would be great to add an option to get
the Index based on exact time: PollTime="*/15 * * * *" That would run at every
15 minutes based on the clock. i.e. 1:00pm, 1:15pm, 1:30pm, 1:45pm, etc. All my
slaves are sync'd using NTP, so this would work better. Since each slave starts
differently, we cannot set the PollInterval="00:15:00" since they would get
different indexes based on when they start. The other option would be to
suspend polling - and start - which would be very manual I guess. Setting the
PollInterval to 10 seconds would be getting a new index when the old one is
still warming up. Even 10 seconds interval would not be good, since we get so
many updates, each server would have different indexes. With Snap we don't have
this issue.
We get SOLR updates frequently and since they are large we cannot wait to do a
commit at the 15 minute mark using cron. Optimize just takes too long.
On our system we need to limit how often the slaves get the new index. We would
like all slaves to get the index at the same time.
>From Noble Paul:
The default pollInterval can behave the way you want (so that the fetches are
synchronized in time by the clock). Raise a separate issue and we can fix it
