In API Management platform sometimes we need to add store and publisher nodes to cluster. But if you have large number of resources in registry solr indexing will take some time.
Solr indexing will be used to index registry data in local file system. In this post we will discuss how we can minimize time take to this loading process. Please note this will apply to all carbon kernel 4.2.0 or below versions. In GREG 5.0.0 we have handled this issue and do not need to do anything to handle this scenario.
You can minimize the time taken to list down existing API list in Store and Publisher by copying an already indexed Solr/data directory to a fresh APIM instance.
However note that you should NOT copy and replace Solr/data directories of different APIM product versions. (For example you can NOT copy and replace Solr/data directory of APIM 1.9 to APIM 1.7)
[1] First create a backup of Solr indexed files using the last currently running API product version.
[APIM_Home]/solr/data directory
[2] Now copy and replace [Product_Home]/solr/data directory in the new APIM instance/s before puppet initializes it, which will list existing APIs since by the time your new carbon instance starts running we have already copied the Solr indexed file to the instance.
If you are using automated process its recommend to automate this process.
So you can follow these instructions to automate it.
01. Get backup of solr/data directory of running server and push it to some artifact server(you can use Rsynch or svn for this).
02. When new instance spawned before start it copy updated solr content from remote artifact server.
03. Then start new server.
If you need to manually re-index data you can follow approach listed below.
Shutdown the server if it is already started.
Rename the lastAccessTimeLocation in registry.xml ,
Eg:
/solr
Restart the server and keep the server idle few minutes to re-index.
