Hey Everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying our new search features (The return of SOLR search and other additions.).
Many of you may remember that we recently brought 2 new servers into the mix, making BigCloset a cluster of 5 servers by itself (front end, database, search, etc). While everything seems to be working quite stably and even fast, we were recently reviewing the setup and have decided that we don't have the best resources in the right places.
As such we are going to do a little bit of shifting today and over the weekend to get things to a completely optimal performance.
None of the downtimes should be longer than 30 minutes or so (the longest times being the amount of time needed to transfer the mysql database image from one server to another over a gigabit Ethernet connection).
So please bear with us as we work to make sure BigCloset continues on with the best configuration possible!
