thanks for your response - i've been waiting for this very clarification. so 'commit()' makes readers re-read the indexes? On Feb 26, 2008, at 7:03 PM, Mike Klaas wrote: There hasn't really been a concrete answer given in this thread, so: It works to point multiple Solr's at a single data d

There hasn't really been a concrete answer given in this thread, so: It works to point multiple Solr's at a single data dir, but you can't have more than one writer. If you try, the index could become corrupted or inconsistent (especially if you are using 'simple' lock type). Also, the S

I saw a 100X slowdown running with indexes on NFS. I don't understand going through a lot of effort with unsupported configurations just to share an index. Local disk is cheap, the snapshot stuff works well, and local discs avoid a single point of failure. The testing time to make a shared index

I hope so. I've found that every once in a while Solr 1.2 replication will die, from a temp-index file that seems to ham it up. Removing that file on all the servers fixes the issue though. We'd like to be able to point all the servers at an NFS location for their index files, and use a

We tried this architecture for our initial rollout of Solr/Lucene to our production application. We ran into a problem with it, which may or may not apply to you. Our production software servers all are monitored for uptime by a daemon which pings them periodically and restarts them if a response

We're about to do the same thing here, but have not tried yet. We currently run Solr with replication across several servers. So long as only one server is doing updates to the index, I think it should work fine. Thanks! Matthew Runo Software Developer Zappos.com 702.943.7833 On Feb 26,
