Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing search system upgrades is described. The method may include processing a software upgrade for a search system cluster distributed over one or more nodes, the one or more nodes comprising current search system data nodes. The method may also include allocating at least a set of one or more search system data nodes for the software upgrade including at least one upgraded search system data node. Furthermore, the method can include receiving, during the software upgrade, transaction data for a transaction, and receiving search requests to be executed by the search system cluster. Additionally, the method may include performing ingestion of all received transaction data comprising storing and indexing the transaction data in both the current search system data nodes and the at least one upgraded search system data node, and processing the search requests by the search system cluster against the current search system data nodes until the software upgrade is determined to be complete.
