Reposting :) Hi:
I am novice to solr in terms of backup/operations. We have a single instance of master (solr) working well, I tried the backup scripts etc and could get things working fine. My question is, even with backup, solr will still have a single index, right? We will have huge amount of data in index - it is ever increasing. I want to archive older data - say every 2 weeks and start a new index - but want the older indices to be searchable. I can potentially take a snapshot at master at 2 week interval, backup and restart master with fresh index. On the slaves, where the actual searches happen, how do I deal with things - won't there be multiple indices there then? Does solr handle this - how? Or how do I solve this problem? Open to other suggestions too. Best Regards -al
