: I want to run 3 to 4 instances of solr on different machines. the other : servers will be replicatin the index from the single server. : how is that done and what options needed to modifies or added to config : xml file of solr.
I would start by looking at these wiki pages... http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CollectionDistribution http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCollectionDistributionOperationsOutline ...they explain everything you need to know about how the creation/replication/installation of snapshots works. then if you look at the example solrconfig.xml you'll see where the event listeners for "snapshooter" are commented out ... just decide wether you want to create snapshoots on each commit, or just after an optimize, and uncomment the appropriate code. -Hoss
