Creating a Solr Database
This page covers the configuration specific to Solr — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.
Database Mode
Select the topology under Database Mode. Three modes are available:
- Standalone — A single-node Solr instance.
- Replicaset — A multi-node Solr cluster. Set the Number of Replicas.
- Topology — A role-separated cluster with dedicated Overseer, Data, and Coordinator node tiers.
| Node | Description |
|---|---|
| Overseer | Cluster-management nodes that handle cluster state and coordination. |
| Data | Nodes that host collections/shards and serve indexing and query traffic. |
| Coordinator | Query-routing nodes that distribute requests across data nodes. |
Each tier has its own Number of Replicas, Storage size, Machine, CPU, and Memory fields.
ZooKeeper
SolrCloud requires ZooKeeper for coordination.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| ZooKeeper Ref (Namespace / Name) | Reference to the ZooKeeper instance Solr uses for coordination. |
