Jackrabbit Clustering Configuration

Question

My application uses stand alone version of jackrabbit and we wanted to move to embedded mode so that we can cluster it.

I read the requirements on the jackrabbit clustering site but still confused. Should I be having different home directories for each cluster node. i.e. If I need to configure two nodes, do I need to have ~/node1/repository.xml and ~/node2/repository.xml? Or they can share same ~/node/repository.xml?

Answer 1

As described in the Clustering Overview, "each cluster node needs its own (private) repository directory, including repository.xml file, workspace FileSystem and Search index."
