Hi all, Question in brief: in Solrcloud, how can we assign specific nodes to serve a collection, given that our cloud is deployed using the backup/restore feature?
We are using Solrcloud 8.5.2 with 5 nodes, serving 13 collections. The majority of these collections are not large, but one of them is large and is the most important one in our application. This important collection has 5 shards about 60 GB in size (more than double the largest other collection) with about 330 M documents. Our nodes have 32 GB RAM and 8 CPUs. We use NFS, but when we go into production, we will have dedicated SSDs available to us. Since our most important collection is being used by users much more than the other collections, we think it makes sense to serve its data from specific nodes, which are not used to serve any other collection. So far, we have not needed to do this, but we do now as we're seeing some performance issues ... The caveat is that we utilise the backup/restore feature of Solrcloud to deploy our application on different data-centres. We've read briefly about the Autoscaling features of Solrcloud, but have not yet made use of them. However, I can't see whether Autoscaling allows us to dedicate specific nodes to a collection. Does anyone with any experience with this have any advice for us? Kind regards, Edd -------------------- Edward Turner
