Hi Team,
I have created a solr/zk setup using GCP VM in GCP Cloud. Below is the
setup.
Cloud: GCP, Region: us-east4, 6 GCP VM forms a solr/Zk cluster
- 3 Solr nodes [ Each node is a separate GCP VM attached with separate
PD SSD disk]
- solr binaries & data are kept in PD SSD disk
- 3 ZK nodes [ Each node is a separate VM and each GCP VM attached with
2 PD SSD disk, [ 1 for data disk, 1 for datalog disk]]
- Zk binaires and data kept in the PD-SSD disk
- PD-SSD Disks are backed up using a snapshot schedule every day, since
we do ingest the data on the solr with daily frequency
- Since we have snapshots available, We are able to recover the entire
solr/zk cluster using the latest snapshots if any DR process is initiated.
Question:
1. If GCP cloud is offering a native solution to recover the solr/zk
cluster from the disk snapshots, What will be the use case of solr offered
native solution backup & restore
<https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/deployment-guide/backup-restore.html>
process?.
2. Am I doing the right DR process setup for solr/zk in GCP Cloud?
