A complete restart of the index subsystem would require downtime. Note: they are not saying those servers have never been restarted - it's highly likely they get restarted regularly. But, a complete restart of the index subsystem implies that you shut everything down first and restart it all at once, which is what was forced to happen two days ago.
- kwisatzh 10y agoWhy can't the index subsystem itself have a backup then? When the primary subsystem is being restarted/rebuilt, the secondary takes over.
- grogenaut 10y agothats kind of like asking why git doesn't have a single backup... it's a distributed system, there's not just one backup, there are lots of little partial backups.
