Hi Shawn,
I know that every node operates as a frontend. This is the way our cluster
currently run.
If I seperate the frontend from the nodes which hold the shards, I can let
him different amount of CPUs as RAM. (e.g. large amount of RAM to JVM,
because this server won't need the OS cache for reading the index, or more
CPUs because the merging process might be more CPU intensive).
Isn't it possible?
Not with SolrCloud. If you manage all your shards and replicas yourself
and use "manual" distributed search, then you can do what you're trying
to do. You lose a *LOT* of automation that SolrCloud handles for you if
you follow this route, though.
I can't find an existing feature request issue for doing this with
SolrCloud. It's a good idea, just not possible currently.
Thanks,
Shawn
