Thanks Kevin, very helpful! I am noticing other dialog on the backup/restore API recently.
Question for you and the rest of the community. With CDCR being removed from Solr, is the backup/restore API the preferred method to handle DR for SolrCloud (likely only providing Hot/Cold approach)? Any other approaches recommended? Thanks, Matt On Tue, Jul 30, 2024 at 12:39 PM Kevin Liang (BLOOMBERG/ 919 3RD A) < klian...@bloomberg.net> wrote: > Hi Matt, > > We have.
