Hi, I'm attempting to come up with a SolrCloud restore / clone process for either recover to a known good state or to clone the environment for experimentation. At the moment my process involves either creating a new zookeeper environment or at least deleting the existing Collection so that I can create a new one. This works; I use the Core API; the first command defines the collection parameters, and I invoke it once for each replica. I don't use the Collection API because I want SolrCloud to go off trying to create all the replicas -- I know where each one is pre-positioned.
What I'm concerned about is what happens once I start wanting to use Shard splitting, *especially* if I don't want to split all shards because shards are uneven due to custom routing (e.g. id:"customer!myid"). In this case I don't know how to create the collection with the hash ranges post-shard split. Solr doesn't have an API for me to explicitly say what the hash ranges should be on each shard (to match up with a backup). And I'm concerned about undocumented pitfalls that may exist in manually constructing a clusterstate.json, as another approach. Any ideas? ~ David ----- Author: http://www.packtpub.com/apache-solr-3-enterprise-search-server/book -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Clone-or-Restore-Solrcloud-tp4114773.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
