Step | Responsible | Duration | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Ask OPS to schedule the deployment of the SolrCloud Server(s), and agree a common timeline.When will the migration probably be on PRD sidedevelopment path | DEV | |
2 | As a prerequisite for the subsequent step, OPS needs to:a. Ensure that DEV is able to export a database dump from the Production Edit environment.b. Check that DEV workers have the required accesses to the project code repository in case they use Intershop preconfigured CI/CD solution. | OPS | |
3 | Determine and migrate any custom changes (optional): a. Set up a local environment that includes Solr 8. b. Test the code with SolrCloud and proceed with the adaptions. Note This step is surely the most complex and difficult to plan, as it is related to customization. This step should be performed by DEV on a local environment where a Solr 8 server is set up. To install Solr locally, please follow the official documentation from https://solr.apache.org/. A container can also be used. We advise to read the documentation, starting with Guide - Migration Solr4 to Solr Cloud Adapter. In case of difficulties, please open a service desk ticket. | DEV | about2 weeks |
4 | Deploy SolrCloud Server(s). See Guide - Deployment Solr Cloud Server. Note Ideally steps 3 and 4 are coordinated in such a way that they are completed at the same time so that the infrastructure is available when DEV finished their code changes and tests. | OPS | 3-4 days |
5 | Change ICM deployment and configuration according to Cookbook - Deployment of Solr Search Adapters (Recipe: Use Solr Cloud Adapter). In other words, SolrCloud cartridges should be added to the assembly. | DEV | 1 day |
6 | Change configuration of application servers to point to SolrCloud server. | OPS | 1 day |
7 | Deploy the changes. | DEV | 1 day |
8 | Rebuild search indexes to re-create indexes at the SolrCloud server, see Job - Rebuild Search Indexes. | DEV | 1 day |
9 | Delete old Solr4 indexes (data directory) and Solr4 configuration (conf directory) from the shared file system. | DEV |
