Hey Mark, I was actually expecting (and wanting) this after your LinkedIn post.
At this point, the best way to use Solr is as it’s always been - avoid > SolrCloud and setup your own system in standalone mode. That's what I have been telling people who are just getting started with Solr and thinking that SolrCloud is actually something superior to the standalone mode. That may depend on the use case, but for me, I always prefer to achieve things from standalone perspective instead of investing my time over switching to Cloud. I handle Auto-Suggest at IndiaMART. We have over 60 million docs. Single server of *standalone* Solr is capable of handling 800 req/sec. In fact, on production, we get ~300 req/sec and the single Solr is still able to provide responses within 25 ms! Anyways, I don't think that the project was a failure. All these were the small drops of the big Solr Ocean. We, the community and you, tried, we tested and we are still here as the open community of one of the most powerful search platforms. SolrCloud was also needed to be introduced at some time. Notwithstanding, I do think that the project needs to be more open with community commits. The community and open-sourceness of Solr is what I used to love over those of ElasticSearch's. Anyways, keep rocking! You have already left your footprints into the history of this beast project. 🤘 On Thu, 28 Nov 2019 at 09:10, Mark Miller <markrmil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Now one company thinks I’m after them because they were the main source of > the jokes. > > Companies is not a typo. > > If you are using Solr to make or save tons of money or run your business > and you employee developers, please include yourself in this list. > > You are taking and in my opinion Solr is going down.
