: I'm wondering if there are slicker ways to do this, ways that would : minimize the downtime, for instance. Perhaps, just like Will Johnson is : trying to make IndexSchema updateable in a live system, the snapshooter : could be turned on/off programatically, say via a special request : handler.
and easy way to do that would be to modify the configuration of RunExecutableListener in the solrconfig.xml to execute a wrapper script around snapshooter that only runs it if a flag file exists on disk. the problem is there are other things you typically want differnet between a master and a slave ... uses of the QuerySenderListener (it could also be modified to check for flag file i suppose)m cache sizes, and cache autowarming. -Hoss
