If you are using NRT replicas, then I don't imagine there is going to be a huge difference in resource usage between leader replicas and follower replicas. They are all receiving all documents, and indexing/committing locally.
If you are using TLOG/PULL replicas, then I would recommend splitting your TLOG replicas to not live on the same nodes as your PULL replicas. That way you are able to separate query/ingest traffic and scale up accordingly. - Houston On Wed, Oct 13, 2021 at 9:43 AM Saur, Alexandre (ELS-AMS) < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > We have a Solr 8 cluster with 5 nodes and one (big) collection that is > split into 5 shards. > > Given this scenario, what's the best way to optimize heavy indexing - > splitting shard leadership amongst the nodes or have just one node being > the leader of all shards? > > Thanks in advance! > > > ________________________________ > > Elsevier B.V.
