sunspot-rails-failover
Sunspot comes with MasterSlaveSessionProxy
that does the following:
This session proxy implementation allows Sunspot to be used with a master/slave Solr deployment. All write methods are delegated to a master session, and read methods are delegated to a slave session.
What this simple gem does is provide failover support if the slave session goes down. Reads and writes are called on the master session.
Setup
Your config/sunspot.yml file should look something like this:
development:
master_solr:
url: http://localhost:8984/solr
solr:
url: http://localhost:8985/solr
NOTE: You do not have to have a master session. If a master session is not detected, sunspot-rails-failover will default to what sunspot_rails provides.
Next, add an initializer (maybe initializers/sunspot.rb) with the following code:
Sunspot::Rails::Failover.setup
Exception handling
sunspot-rails-failover supports exception handling for committing and
searching. Currently, it will use Hoptoad by default if it is installed.
The exception is passed to HoptoadNotifier.notify
.
You can also use a custom class/module to customize how you want to handle the
exception. In initializers/sunspot.rb
:
module MyExceptionHandler
def self.handle(exception)
Notifier.(exception)
end
end
Sunspot::Rails::Failover.exception_handler = MyExceptionHandler
Sunspot::Rails::Failover.setup
