Hello, I'm new to Solr, and I need to create the smallest possible Solr cluster, supporting replication and fault tolerance, with no single point of failure. I've followed the instructions at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud, and that's fine, but since my dataset it's not that large, I don't really need sharding the index. So what I would need, it's having a whole index in one host, a whole replica in a different host, and I'll use a load balancer to hit any of the boxes for searching and indexing. I've tried this configuration, with one ZK starting in host1. Seems to work fine if I stop host2, but if I stop host1 (the one containing ZK), host2 start throwing java.net.ConnectException, and even though searching is still possible, indexing fails with error 503. I've also tried to start a ZK in both hosts, but this fails to start, it looks like ZK instances need to be in an odd number, because of the voting mechanism?
So what are my options here? Am I doing something wrong with Solr/ZK? Thanks in advance for your help. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Minimum-Solr-cluster-configuration-tp4043943.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
