solr-orbitd

solr-orbitd is the daemon binary used for distributed load generation. It must be running on every worker machine before starting a distributed benchmark from the coordinator.

Syntax

solr-orbitd start   --node-ip IP --coordinator-ip IP
solr-orbitd stop    --node-ip IP --coordinator-ip IP
solr-orbitd restart --node-ip IP --coordinator-ip IP
solr-orbitd status

Subcommands

Subcommand	Description
`start`	Start the daemon and register with the coordinator
`stop`	Stop the running daemon
`restart`	Stop and restart the daemon
`status`	Print whether the daemon is currently running

Options

Option	Required	Description
`--node-ip`	Yes (`start`, `stop`, `restart`)	IP address of this worker machine
`--coordinator-ip`	Yes (`start`, `stop`, `restart`)	IP address of the coordinator machine running `solr-orbit`

Examples

Start daemons on two worker machines, then run the benchmark from the coordinator:

# On worker-1 (192.168.1.10):
solr-orbitd start --node-ip 192.168.1.10 --coordinator-ip 192.168.1.1

# On worker-2 (192.168.1.11):
solr-orbitd start --node-ip 192.168.1.11 --coordinator-ip 192.168.1.1

# On the coordinator (192.168.1.1):
solr-orbit run \
  --workload nyc_taxis \
  --pipeline benchmark-only \
  --target-hosts solr1:8983,solr2:8983 \
  --worker-ips 192.168.1.10,192.168.1.11

Check daemon status on a worker:

solr-orbitd status

Stop a worker daemon when the benchmark is complete:
