Puppet-Solr module

Solr module, very basic. Only tested on CentOS7 / RedHat7.

It downloads the version defined in hiera from http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/, installs Solr following the offcial docu here and starts Solr as a init.d Service.

For more info on design decisions check the blog I wrote about this module.

Setup

Setup Requirements

This module expects Java to be present on the system e.g. 'puppetlabs-java'. The default solr version was tested with Oracle Java 1.8.

Beginning with solr

The minimal code to make it run is simply:

include solr

It uses all the default values from hiera at data/common.yaml If you need to change those, create your own hiera file and override those values.

Usage / Reference

Check the hiera file at data/common.yaml for all possible inputs The only tricky param is maybe solr::zk_hosts, you need to actually have Zookeeper running, for it to make sense, e.g.:
