Broadleaf Commerce Discussion Forums

Hi mates,

We are implementing broadleaf with external solr and we'd like to have two solr shards replicated (4 boxes) and 3 zookepers; I have studied both and can put it into operation but for one collection only and broadleaf requires two collections (primary and reindex); has anyone tried this scenario? I'd like to know how to invoke the two collections from tomcat at startup but don't know how.

Thanks in advance.

I think that you are mixing terms. According to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/dis ... loud+Works, a collection is more synonymous to an index than it is a core. Both are terms to describe multiple Solr cores. Broadleaf does not require multiple indexes, just multiple cores within an index. This is so that re-indexing can take place on core 2 while core 1 is still in operation, then after the indexing is done the cores are swapped out.

Not sure what you mean by 'invoking 2 collections from Tomcat at startup'. Maybe you should direct your searches to something like using SolrCloud with a multi-index core?
