Hello,
I'm trying to experiment with Dovecot and Solr server. I have >30k email addresses that I want to index to speed up searching and save IOPS on mail servers. For now - I'm doing some experiments and I'm testing how it is working. I'm thinking about adding one additional server with Solr and configure all mail servers to use that server.
I have some questions. dir has 5MB. After indexing mailbox in Solr - index files has 15MB. What
- I have 15 mail servers. It will be good If I add new server with Solr and use it on all Dovecot servers? Or maybe I should install Solr on all mail servers?
- I notice - I have mail account with 3GB of mail. Index files in mail
changes in those files? FTS indexing adds something to that files - but what? 3. If I need to disconnect Dovecot from Solr server - simply Can I remove plugin configuration from dovecot.conf and everything would be working? Or maybe - I need to remove index files and recreate it? It is important for me because if some day I would decide to disconnect FTS server - I would have to recreate indexes for >30k mailboxes.. 4. What if some day I want to change Solr server to new server with empty Solr database? I can simply reindex mailboxes? Or I need to do something more?
Thanks!
