We have been having strange behavior with CDCR on Solr 7.2.0.
We have a number of replicas which have identical schemas. We found that
TLOG replicas give much more consistent search results.
We created a collection using TLOG replicas in our QA clouds.
We have a locally hosted solrcloud with 2 nodes, all our collections have 2
shards. We use CDCR to replicate the collections from this environment to 2
data centers hosted in Google cloud. This seems to work fairly well for our
collections with NRT replicas. However the new TLOG collection has problems.
The google cloud solrclusters have 4 nodes each (3 separate Zookeepers). 2
shards per collection with 2 replicas per shard.
We never see data show up in the cloud collections, but we do see tlog
files show up on the cloud servers. I can see that all of the servers have
cdcr started, buffers are disabled.
The cdcr source configuration is:
"requestHandler":{"/cdcr":{
"name":"/cdcr",
"class":"solr.CdcrRequestHandler",
"replica":[
{
"zkHost":"xxx-mzk01.sial.com:2181,xxx-mzk02.sial.com:2181,
xxx-mzk03.sial.com:2181/solr",
"source":"b2b-catalog-material-180124T",
"target":"b2b-catalog-material-180124T"},
{
"zkHost":"yyyy-mzk01.sial.com:2181,yyyy-mzk02.sial.com:2181,
yyyy-mzk03.sial.com:2181/solr",
"source":"b2b-catalog-material-180124T",
"target":"b2b-catalog-material-180124T"}],
"replicator":{
"threadPoolSize":4,
"schedule":500,
"batchSize":250},
"updateLogSynchronizer":{"schedule":60000}}}}
The target configurations in the 2 clouds are the same:
"requestHandler":{"/cdcr":{ "name":"/cdcr", "class":
"solr.CdcrRequestHandler", "buffer":{"defaultState":"disabled"}}}
All of our collections have a timestamp field, index_date. In the source
collection all the records have a date of 2/28/2018 but the target
collections have a latest date of 1/26/2018
I don't see cdcr errors in the logs, but we use logstash to search them,
and we're still perfecting that.
We have a number of similar collections that behave correctly. This is the
only collection that is a TLOG collection. It appears that CDCR doesn't
support TLOG collections.
This begins to look like a bug
