How do you use the Solr 7.4 restore API with HDFS?

154 views Asked by At

I'm using Solr 7.4 along with Hadoop 2.7.5. I have an existing Collection that I want to backup and restore. I was able to complete the backup with no issues, but now I want to test the restore API. I'm doing all this in a staging environment as a proof of concept as I will have to restore our production index onto a new server.

The main issue I'm running into is that I don't know if I'm using the restore API correctly. This is what I'm calling: http://localhost:8983/solr/MyNewTestCollection/replication?command=restore Do I need to use the "repository" and "location" parameters in the API? My understanding was no since my solr.xml file states how to use HDFS to do the backup/restore.

In my solr.xml I have:

<backup>
  <repository name="hdfs" class="org.apache.solr.core.backup.repository.HdfsBackupRepository" default="false">
    <str name="location">${solr.hdfs.default.backup.path}</str>
    <str name="solr.hdfs.home">${solr.hdfs.home:hdfs://XXX.XX.XX.XX:8020/user/solr}</str>
    <str name="solr.hdfs.confdir">${solr.hdfs.confdir:/etc/hadoop/conf}</str>
  </repository>
</backup>

Also, below is the ouput I get from calling the API:

In case anyone is needing this information, here are the steps I took.

  1. I added the block to my solr.xml file as I initially mentioned above
  2. I created the new collection using the Solr Admin UI
  3. When creating the collection, I provided the existing configset to be used for the new collection by selecting it in the dropdown menu
  4. I uploaded my snapshots that were created using the Solr backup API to the default backups path I've set in HDFS
  5. I called the Solr restore API as follows: http://localhost:8983/solr/MyNewTestCollection/replication?command=restore&repository=hdfs&location=PathToBackupInHdfs&name=SnapshotName
