== Cluster Preferences
|
||||
|
||||
Cluster preferences, as the name suggests, apply to all cluster management operations regardless of which collection they affect.
|
||||
Cluster preferences allow you to tell Solr how to assess system load on each node. This information is used to guide selection of the node(s) on which cluster management operations will be performed.
|
||||
|
||||
A preference is a set of conditions that help Solr select nodes that either maximize or minimize given metrics. For example, a preference such as `{minimize:cores}` will help Solr select nodes such that the number of cores on each node is minimized. We write cluster preferences in a way that reduces the overall load on the system. You can add more than one preferences to break ties.
|
||||
In general, when an operation increases replica counts, the *least loaded* <<solrcloud-autoscaling-policy-preferences.adoc#node-selector,qualified node>> will be chosen, and when the operation reduces replica counts, the *most loaded* qualified node will be chosen.
|
||||
|
||||
The default cluster preferences consist of the above example (`{minimize:cores}`) which is to minimize the number of cores on all nodes.
|
||||
The default cluster preferences are `[{minimize:cores}]`, which tells Solr to minimize the number of cores on all nodes. In this case, the least loaded node is the one with the fewest cores.
|
||||
|
||||
You can learn more about preferences in the <<solrcloud-autoscaling-policy-preferences.adoc#solrcloud-autoscaling-policy-preferences,Autoscaling Cluster Preferences>> section.
|
||||
|
||||
== Cluster Policy
|
||||
|
||||
A cluster policy is a set of conditions that a node, shard, or collection must satisfy before it can be chosen as the target of a cluster management operation. These conditions are applied across the cluster regardless of the collection being managed. For example, the condition `{"cores":"<10", "node":"#ANY"}` means that any node must have less than 10 Solr cores in total, regardless of which collection they belong to.
|
||||
A cluster policy is a set of rules that a node, shard, or collection must satisfy before it can be chosen as the target of a cluster management operation. These rules are applied across the cluster regardless of the collection being managed. For example, the rule `{"cores":"<10", "node":"#ANY"}` means that any node must have less than 10 Solr cores in total, regardless of which collection they belong to.
|
||||
|
||||
There are many metrics on which the condition can be based, e.g., system load average, heap usage, free disk space, etc. The full list of supported metrics can be found in the section describing <<solrcloud-autoscaling-policy-preferences.adoc#policy-rule-attributes,Autoscaling Policy Rule Attributes>>.

|
||||
|
||||
When a node, shard, or collection does not satisfy the policy, we call it a *violation*. Solr ensures that cluster management operations minimize the number of violations.
|
||||
When a node, shard, or collection does not satisfy a policy rule, we call it a *violation*. By default, cluster management operations will fail if there is even one violation. You can allow operations to succeed in the face of a violation by marking the corresponding rule with <<solrcloud-autoscaling-policy-preferences.adoc#rule-strictness,`"strict":false`>>. When you do this, Solr ensures that cluster management operations minimize the number of violations.
|
||||
|
||||
== Collection-Specific Policies
|
||||
|
||||
A collection may need conditions in addition to those specified in the cluster policy. In such cases, we can create named policies that can be used for specific collections. Firstly, we can use the `set-policy` API to create a new policy and then specify the `policy=<policy_name>` parameter to the CREATE command of the Collection API:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,text]
|
||||
/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=coll1&numShards=1&replicationFactor=2&policy=policy1
|
||||
|
||||
The above CREATE collection command will associate a policy named `policy1` with the collection named `coll1`. Only a single policy may be associated with a collection.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the collection-specific policy is applied *in addition to* the cluster policy, i.e., it is not an override but an augmentation. Therefore the collection will follow all conditions laid out in the cluster preferences, cluster policy, and the policy named `policy1`.
|
||||
|
||||
You can learn more about collection-specific policies in the section <<solrcloud-autoscaling-policy-preferences.adoc#collection-specific-policy,Defining Collection-Specific Policies>>.
|
||||
Solr also supports <<solrcloud-autoscaling-policy-preferences.adoc#collection-specific-policy,collection-specific policies>>, which operate in tandem with the cluster policy.

== Cluster Preferences Specification
|
||||
|
||||
A preference is a hint to Solr on how to sort nodes based on their utilization. The default cluster preference is to sort by the total number of Solr cores (or replicas) hosted by a node. Therefore, by default, when selecting a node to which to add a replica, Solr can apply the preferences and choose the node with the fewest cores.
|
||||
|
||||
More than one preference can be added to break ties. For example, we may choose to use free disk space to break ties if the number of cores on two nodes are the same. The node with the higher free disk space can be chosen as the target of the cluster operation.

Except for `node`, the attributes above cause selected nodes to be partitioned into node groups. A node group is referred to as a "bucket". Those attributes usable with the `#EQUAL` directive may define buckets either via the value `#EACH` or an array `["value1", ...]` (a subset of all possible values); in both cases, each node is placed in the bucket corresponding to the matching attribute value.

|
||||
* The replica is of a shard specified in the `shard` attribute value.
|

==== Rule Strictness
|
||||
==== Specifying Replica and Core Count Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the rule must be satisfied, and if it can't, then no action will be taken.
|
||||
<<Replica Count Constraint,Replica count constraints>> (`"replica":"..."`) and <<Core Count Constraint,core count constraints>> (`"cores":"..."`) allow specification of acceptable counts for replicas (cores tied to a collection) and cores (regardless of the collection to which they belong), respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
If the `strict` attribute value is specified as `false`, Solr tries to satisfy the rule on a best effort basis, but if no node can satisfy the rule then any node may be chosen.
|
||||
You can specify one of the following as the value of a `replica` and `cores` policy rule attribute:
|
||||
|
||||
* an exact integer (e.g. `2`)
|
||||
* an exclusive lower integer bound (e.g. `>0`)
|
||||
* an exclusive upper integer bound (e.g. `<3`)
|
||||
* a decimal value, interpreted as an acceptable range of core counts, from the floor of the value to the ceiling of the value, with the system preferring the rounded value (e.g., `1.6`: `1` or `2` is acceptable, and `2` is preferred)
|
||||
* a <<range-operator,range>> of acceptable replica/core counts, as inclusive lower and upper integer bounds separated by a hyphen (e.g. `3-5`)
|
||||
* a percentage (e.g. `33%`), which is multiplied at runtime either by the number of <<Replica Selector and Rule Evaluation Context,selected replicas>> (for a `replica` constraint) or the number of cores in the cluster (for a `cores` constraint). This value is then interpreted as described above for a literal decimal value.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: Using an exact integer value for count constraints is of limited utility, since collection or cluster changes could quickly invalidate them. For example, attempting to add a third replica to each shard of a collection on a two-node cluster with policy rule `{"replica":1, "shard":"#EACH", "node":"#ANY"}` would cause a violation, since at least one node would have to host more than one replica. Percentage rules are less brittle. Rewriting the rule as `{"replica":"50%", "shard":"#EACH", "node":"#ANY"}` eliminates the violation: `50% of 3 replicas = 1.5 replicas per node`, meaning that it's acceptable for a node to host either one or two replicas of each shard.

=== Policy Rule Attributes
|
||||
|
||||
A policy rule can have the following attributes:
|
||||
==== Rule Strictness
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute is usable in all rules:
|
||||
|
||||
`strict`::
|
||||
An optional boolean value. The default is `true`. If true, the rule must be satisfied; if the rule is not satisfied, the resulting violation will cause the cluster management operation to fail. If false, Solr tries to satisfy the rule on a best effort basis, but if no node can satisfy the rule, the cluster management operation will not fail, and any node may be chosen. If multiple rules declared to be `strict:false` can not be satisfied by some nodes, then a node will be chosen such that the number of such violations is minimized.
|
||||
|
||||
==== Global Rule Attributes
|
||||
|
||||
[[cores-attribute]]
|
||||
`cores`::
|
||||
This is a required attribute for <<Rule Types,global rules>>. It can only be used along with the `node` attribute and no other. See <<Core Count Constraint>> for possible attribute values.
|
||||
The number of cores that must exist to satisfy the rule. This is a required attribute for <<Rule Types,global policy rules>>. The <<node-attribute,`node` attribute>> must also be specified, and the only other allowed attribute is the optional <<Rule Strictness,`strict` attribute>>. See <<Core Count Constraint>> for possible attribute values.

==== Special Functions
|
||||
|
||||
This supports values calculated at the time of execution.
|
||||
|
||||
* `%` : A certain percentage of the value. This is supported by the following attributes:
|
||||
** `replica`
|
||||
** `cores`
|
||||
** `freedisk`
|
||||
* `#ALL` : This is applied to the `replica` attribute only. This means all replicas that meet the rule condition.
|
||||
* `#EQUAL`: This is applied to the `replica` and `cores` attributes only. This means an equal number of replicas/cores in each bucket. The buckets can be defined using an array operator (`[]`) or `#EACH`. The buckets can be defined using the following properties:
|
||||
** `node` \<- <<Rule Types,global rules>>, i.e., with the `cores` attribute, may only specify this attribute
|
||||
** `sysprop.*`
|
||||
** `port`
|
||||
** `diskType`
|
||||
** `ip_*`
|
||||
* [[percentage-function]]`%` : A certain percentage of the value. This is supported by the following attributes:
|
||||
** <<replica-attribute,`replica`>>
|
||||
** <<cores-attribute,`cores`>>
|
||||
** <<freedisk-attribute,`freedisk`>>
|
||||
* [[any-function]]`#ANY`: Applies to the <<node-attribute,`node` attribute>> only. This means the rule applies to any node.
|
||||
* [[all-function]]`#ALL`: Applies to the <<replica-attribute,`replica` attribute>> only. This means all replicas that meet the rule condition.
|
||||
* [[each-function]]`#EACH`: Applies to the <<shard-attribute,`shard` attribute>> (meaning the rule should be evaluated separately for each shard), and to the attributes used to define the buckets for the <<equal-function,#EQUAL function>> (meaning all possible values for the bucket-defining attribute).
|
||||
* [[equal-function]]`#EQUAL`: Applies to the <<replica-attribute,`replica`>> and <<cores-attribute,`cores`>> attributes only. This means an equal number of replicas/cores in each bucket. The buckets can be defined using the below attributes with a value that can either be <<each-function,`#EACH`>> or a list specified with the <<array-operator,array operator (`[]`)>>:
|
||||
** <<node-attribute,`node`>> \<- <<Rule Types,global rules>>, i.e. those with the <<cores-attribute,`cores` attribute>>, may only specify this attribute

=== Examples of Policy Rules
|
||||
|
||||
==== Limit Replica Placement
|
||||
|
||||
Do not place more than one replica of the same shard on the same node:
|
||||
Do not place more than one replica of the same shard on the same node. The rule is evaluated separately for <<each-function,each>> shard in each collection. The rule is applied to <<any-function,any>> node.
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"replica": "<2", "shard": "#EACH", "node": "#ANY"}
|
||||
|
||||
==== Limit Cores per Node
|
||||
|
||||
Do not place more than 10 cores in any node. This rule can only be added to the cluster policy because it mentions the `cores` attribute that is only applicable cluster-wide.
|
||||
Do not place more than 10 cores in <<any-function,any>> node. This rule can only be added to the cluster policy because it is a <<Rule Types,global rule>>.
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"cores": "<10", "node": "#ANY"}
|
||||
|
||||
==== Place Replicas Based on Port
|
||||
|
||||
Place exactly 1 replica of each shard of collection `xyz` on a node running on port `8983`
|
||||
Place exactly 1 replica of <<each-function,each>> shard of collection `xyz` on a node running on port `8983`.
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"replica": 1, "shard": "#EACH", "collection": "xyz", "port": "8983"}
|
||||
|
||||
==== Place Replicas Based on a System Property
|
||||
|
||||
Place all replicas on a node with system property `availability_zone=us-east-1a`.
|
||||
Place <<all-function,all>> replicas on nodes with system property `availability_zone=us-east-1a`.
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"replica": "#ALL", "sysprop.availability_zone": "us-east-1a"}
|
||||
|
||||
===== Use Percentage
|
||||
==== Use Percentage
|
||||
|
||||
====== Example 1
|
||||
|
||||
Place roughly a maximum of a 3rd of the replicas of a shard in a node. In the following example, the value of `replica` is computed in real time:
|
||||
Place a maximum of (roughly) a third of the replicas of <<each-function,each>> shard in <<any-function,any>> node. In the following example, the value of `replica` is computed in real time as a percentage of the replicas of <<each-function,each>> shard of each collection:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"replica": "33%", "shard": "#EACH", "node": "#ANY"}
|
||||
|
||||
If the number of replicas in a shard is `2`, `33% of 2 = 0.66`. This means a node may have a maximum of `1` and a minimum of `0` replicas of each shard.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to get the same effect by hard coding the value of `replica` as follows:
|
||||
It is possible to get the same effect by hard coding the value of `replica` as a decimal value:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"replica": 0.66, "shard": "#EACH", "node": "#ANY"}
|
||||
|
||||
or using the range operator:
|
||||
or using the <<range-operator,range operator>>:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"replica": "0-1", "shard": "#EACH", "node": "#ANY"}
|
||||
|
||||
====== Example 2
|
||||
==== Multiple Percentage Rules
|
||||
|
||||
Distribute replicas across datacenters `east` and `west` at a `1:2` ratio:
|
||||
Distribute replicas of <<each-function,each>> shard of each collection across datacenters `east` and `west` at a `1:2` ratio:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
----
|
||||
{"replica": "33%", "shard": "#EACH", "sysprop.zone": "east"}
|
||||
{"replica": "66%", "shard": "#EACH", "sysprop.zone": "west"}
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
For the above rule to work, all nodes must the started with a system property called `"zone"`

|
||||
|
||||
==== Distribute Replicas Equally in Each Zone
|
||||
|
||||
For <<each-function,each>> shard of each collection, distribute replicas equally across the `east` and `west` zones.
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"replica": "#EQUAL", "shard": "#EACH", "sysprop.zone": ["east", "west"]}
|
||||
|
||||
or simply as follows
|
||||
Distribute replicas equally across <<each-function,each>> zone.
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"replica": "#EQUAL", "shard": "#EACH", "sysprop.zone": "#EACH"}
|
||||
|
||||
==== Place Replicas Based on Node Role
|
||||
|
||||
Do not place any replica on a node which has the overseer role. Note that the role is added by the `addRole` collection API. It is *not* automatically the node which is currently the overseer.

|
||||
{"replica": 0, "nodeRole": "overseer"}
|
||||
|
||||
==== Place Replicas Based on Free Disk
|
||||
|
||||
Place all replicas in nodes with freedisk more than 500GB.
|
||||
Place <<all-function,all>> replicas in nodes where <<freedisk-attribute,freedisk>> is greater than 500GB.
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"replica": "#ALL", "freedisk": ">500"}
|
||||
|
||||
Keep all replicas in nodes with over `50%` freedisk
|
||||
Keep all replicas in nodes where <<freedisk-attribute,freedisk>> percentage is greater than `50%`.
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
{"replica": "#ALL", "freedisk": ">50%"}
|
||||
|
||||
==== Try to Place Replicas Based on Free Disk
|
||||
|
||||
Place all replicas in nodes with freedisk more than 500GB when possible. Here we use the strict keyword to signal that this rule is to be honored on a best effort basis.
|
||||
When possible, place <<all-function,all>> replicas in nodes where <<freedisk-attribute,freedisk>> is greater than 500GB. Here we use the <<Rule Strictness,`strict`>> attribute to signal that this rule is to be honored on a best effort basis.
|
||||
|

== Defining Collection-Specific Policies
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the cluster policy, if it exists, is used automatically for all collections in the cluster. However, we can create named policies which can be attached to a collection at the time of its creation by specifying the policy name along with a `policy` parameter.

By default, the cluster policy, if it exists, is used automatically for all collections in the cluster. However, we can create named policies that can be attached to a collection at the time of its creation by specifying the policy name along with a `policy` parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
When a collection-specific policy is used, the rules in that policy are *appended* to the rules in the cluster policy and the combination of both are used. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not add rules to collection-specific policy that conflict with the ones in the cluster policy. Doing so will disqualify all nodes in the cluster from matching all criteria and make the policy useless.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to override conditions specified in the cluster policy using collection-specific policy. For example, if a clause `{replica:'<3', node:'#ANY'}` is present in the cluster policy and the collection-specific policy has a clause `{replica:'<4', node:'#ANY'}`, the cluster policy is ignored in favor of the collection policy.

||||

For example, if a rule `{replica:'<3', node:'#ANY'}` is present in the cluster policy and the collection-specific policy has a rule `{replica:'<4', node:'#ANY'}`, the cluster policy is ignored in favor of the collection policy.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, if `maxShardsPerNode` is specified during the time of collection creation, then both `maxShardsPerNode` and the policy rules must be satisfied.
|
||||
|
||||
Some attributes such as `cores` can only be used in the cluster policy. See the section <<Policy Rule Attributes>> for details.
|
||||
|
||||
== Manual Collection Creation with a Policy
|
||||
To create a new named policy, use the <<solrcloud-autoscaling-api.adoc#create-and-modify-collection-specific-policy,`set-policy` API>>. Once you have a named policy, you can specify the `policy=<policy_name>` parameter to the CREATE command of the Collection API:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,text]
|
||||
/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=coll1&numShards=1&replicationFactor=2&policy=policy1
|
||||
|
||||
The above CREATE collection command will associate a policy named `policy1` with the collection named `coll1`. Only a single policy may be associated with a collection.
|
||||
|
||||
== Example: Manual Collection Creation with a Policy
|
||||
|
||||
The starting state for this example is a Solr cluster with 3 nodes: "nodeA", "nodeB", and "nodeC". An existing 2-shard `FirstCollection` with a `replicationFactor` of 1 has one replica on "nodeB" and one on "nodeC". The default Autoscaling preferences are in effect:
|
||||
|
||||
|
|
@ -395,23 +435,11 @@ http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=SecondCollection
|
|||
For each of the two replicas to be created, each Solr node is tested, in order from least to most loaded: would all policy rules be satisfied if a replica were placed there using an ADDREPLICA sub-command?
|
||||
|
||||
* ADDREPLICA for `shard1`: According to the Autoscaling preferences, the least loaded node is the one with the fewest cores: "nodeA", because it hosts no cores, while the other two nodes each host one core. The test to place a replica here succeeds, because doing so causes no policy violations, since the core count after adding the replica would not exceed the configured maximum of 1. Because "nodeA" can host the first shard's replica, Solr skips testing of the other two nodes.
|
||||
* ADDREPLICA for `shard2`: After placing the `shard1` replica, all nodes would be equally loaded, since each would have one core. The test to place the `shard2` replica fails on each node, because placement would push the node over its maximum core count. Since there is no node that can host this replica, the CREATE command fails.
|
||||
* ADDREPLICA for `shard2`: After placing the `shard1` replica, all nodes would be equally loaded, since each would have one core. The test to place the `shard2` replica fails on each node, because placement would push the node over its maximum core count. This causes a policy violation.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's try again after increasing the maximum core count on all nodes to 2:
|
||||
Since there is no node that can host a replica for `shard2` without causing a violation, the overall CREATE command fails. Let's try again after increasing the maximum core count on all nodes to 2:
|
||||
|
||||
[source,json]
|
||||
[ {"cores": "<3", "node": "#ANY"} ]
|
||||
|
||||
After re-issuing the `SecondCollection` CREATE command, the replica for `shard1` will be placed on "nodeA": it's least loaded, so is tested first, and no policy violation will result from placement there. The `shard2` replica could be placed on any of the 3 nodes, since they're all equally loaded, and the chosen node will remain below its maximum core count after placement. The CREATE command succeeds.
|
||||
|
||||
== Commands That Use Autoscaling Policy and Preferences
|
||||
|
||||
The configured autoscaling policy and preferences are used by these <<collections-api.adoc#collections-api,Collections API>> commands:
|
||||
|
||||
* CREATE
|
||||
* CREATESHARD
|
||||
* ADDREPLICA
|
