Solr 4.3: shard splitting quick look
With the release of Solr 4.3 we’ve got a long awaited feature – we can now split shards of collections that were already created and have data (in SolrCloud type deployment). In this entry we would like to try that feature and see how it works. So let’s do it.

SolrCloud HOWTO
What is the most important change in 4.x version of Apache Solr? I think there are many of them but Solr Cloud is definitely something that changed a lot in Solr architecture. Until now, bigger installations suffered from single point of failure (SPOF) – there was only the one master server and when this server was going down, the whole cluster lose the ability to receive new data. Of course you could go for multiple masters, where a single master was responsible for indexing some part of the data, but still, there was a SPOF present in your deployment. Even if everything worked, due to commit interval and the fact that slave instances checked the presence of new data periodically, the solution was far from ideal – the new data in the cluster appeared minutes after commit.

Solr 4.1: Stored fields compression
Despite the fact that Lucene and Solr 4.0 is still very fresh we decided that its time to take a look at the changes in the approaching 4.1 version. One of those changes will be stored fields compression to decrease the size of the index size, when we use such fields. Let’s take a look and see how that works.
