Hi users Solr supports for writing and reading its index and transaction log files to the HDFS distributed filesystem. **I am curious about that there are any other futher improvement about the integration with HDFS.* **For the solr native replication will make multiple copies of the master node's index. Because of the native replication of HDFS,there is no need to do that.It just to need that multiple cores in solrcloud share the same index directory in HDFS?*
The above supposition is what I want to achive when we are integrating SolrCloud with HDFS (Solr 4.6). To make sure of our application high available,we still have to take the solr replication with some tricks. Firstly ,noting that solr's index directory is made up of *collectionName/coreNodeName/data/index * *collectionName/coreNodeName/data/tlog* So to achive this,we want to create multi cores that use the same hdfs index directory . I have tested this within solr 4.4 by expilcitly indicating the same coreNodeName. For example: Step1, a core was created with the name=core1 and shard=core_shard1 and collection=clollection1 and coreNodeName=*core1* Step2. create another core with the name=core2 and shard=core_shard1 and collection=clollection1 and coreNodeName= *core1* * T*he two core share the same shard ,collection and coreNodeName.As a result,the two core will get the same index data which is stored in the hdfs directory : hdfs://myhdfs/*clollection1*/*core1*/data/index hdfs://myhdfs/*clollection1*/*core1*/data/tlog Unfortunately*, *as the solr 4.6 was released,we upgraded . the above goal failed. We could not create a core with both expilcit shard and coreNodeName. Exceptions are as [1]. * Can some give some help?* Regards [1]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 64893635 [http-bio-8080-exec-1] INFO org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkController ?.publishing core=hdfstest3 state=down 64893635 [http-bio-8080-exec-1] INFO org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkController ?.numShards not found on descriptor - reading it from system property 64893698 [http-bio-8080-exec-1] INFO org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkController ?.look for our core node name 64951227 [http-bio-8080-exec-17] INFO org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore ?.[reportCore_201208] webapp=/solr path=/replication params={slave=false&command=details&wt=javabin&qt=/replication&version=2} status=0 QTime=107 65213770 [http-bio-8080-exec-1] INFO org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkController ?.waiting to find shard id in clusterstate for hdfstest3 65533894 [http-bio-8080-exec-1] ERROR org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore ?.org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error CREATEing SolrCore 'hdfstest3': Could not get shard id for core: hdfstest3 at org.apache.solr.handler.admin.CoreAdminHandler.handleCreateAction(CoreAdminHandler.java:535) at org.apache.solr.handler.admin.CoreAdminHandler.handleRequestBody(CoreAdminHandler.java:152) at org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase.handleRequest(RequestHandlerBase.java:135) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.handleAdminRequest(SolrDispatchFilter.java:662) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java:248) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java:197) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:243) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:210) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:222) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:123) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:171) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:99) at org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve.invoke(AccessLogValve.java:947) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:118) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:408) at org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Processor.process(AbstractHttp11Processor.java:1009) at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol$AbstractConnectionHandler.process(AbstractProtocol.java:589) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$SocketProcessor.run(JIoEndpoint.java:310) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1110) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:603) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Could not get shard id for core: hdfstest3 at org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkController.waitForShardId(ZkController.java:1302) at org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkController.doGetShardIdAndNodeNameProcess(ZkController.java:1248) at org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkController.preRegister(ZkController.java:1399) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.preRegisterInZk(CoreContainer.java:942) at org.apache.solr.handler.admin.CoreAdminHandler.handleCreateAction(CoreAdminHandler.java:492) ... 20 more
