Specifying remote Solr and ZooKeeper servers

In a deployment of i2 Analyze, the location of each Solr server and ZooKeeper server is specified in the topology.xml file. When you run the commands to deploy i2 Analyze, the Solr nodes and ZooKeeper servers are created on servers that you specify.

About this task

Add the information about your Solr and ZooKeeper servers to the configuration\environment\topology.xml file.

Procedure

  1. In the topology.xml file, add at least one <solr-node> element for each Solr server in your deployment topology.

    For example:

    <solr-nodes>
  ...
  <solr-node
    memory="2g"
    data-dir="C:/i2/i2analyze/data/solr"
    host-name="<solr_server_host_name>"
    id="node2"
    port-number="8984"
  />
</solr-nodes>

    Where <solr_server_host_name> is the hostname of a Solr server.

    For more information about the possible values for each attribute, see Solr and ZooKeeper.

  2. Edit the configuration\environment\topology.xml file to specify your ZooKeeper servers.

    For example:

    <zookeeper id="zoo">
  <zkhosts>
    <zkhost 
      host-name="<zookeeper_server1_host_name>" id="1"
      port-number="9983" quorum-port-number="10483" leader-port-number="10983"
      data-dir="C:/i2/i2analyze/data/zookeeper"
      />
    <zkhost 
      host-name="<zookeeper_server2_host_name>" id="2"
      port-number="9983" quorum-port-number="10483" leader-port-number="10983"
      data-dir="C:/i2/i2analyze/data/zookeeper"
      />
    <zkhost 
      host-name="<zookeeper_server3_host_name>" id="3"
      port-number="9983" quorum-port-number="10483" leader-port-number="10983"
      data-dir="C:/i2/i2analyze/data/zookeeper"
      />
  </zkhosts>
</zookeeper>

    Where <zookeeper_serverx_host_name> is the hostname of the ZooKeeper server.

    Each <zkhost> element must have a unique value for the id attribute.

    For more information about the possible values for each attribute, see Solr and ZooKeeper.
