: I have multiple applications (blogs/forums/video/etc) - each of these : is independent (no need to perform queries on multiple indices).
: Would it be best to use multiple instances of SOLR/JVM - one for each : index or use a solution where only one JVM instance is running (maybe : solr-215?)? you don't actaully need multiple JVM instances to run multiple Solr instance ... you can configure your ServletContainer to run the solr.war in multiple contexts each of which has a differnet solrconfig.xml and schema.xml (using JNDI) ... that way you get most of hte benefits of isolated instances but also can also take advantage of a single large heap and common connection management. -Hoss
