Hello,
We are trying to move away from Master-Slave configuration to a
SolrCloud environment. I have a couple of questions. Currently in the
Master-Slave setup we have 4 Machines 2 of which are indexers and 2 of them
are query servers. The query servers are fronted via Load Balancer.
There are 3 solr cores for 3 different/separate applications (mutually
exclusive). Each core is a complete index of all docs (i.e. the data is not
sharded).
We intend to keep it in a non-sharded mode even after the SolrCloud
mode.The prime motivation to move to cloud is to effectively use all
servers for indexing and querying (read fault tolerant/redundant).
So, the real question is, can SolrCloud be used without shards ? i.e. a
"collection" resides entirely on one machine rather than partitioning data
onto different machines ?
Thanks
