: 3) I had to bounce the tomcat search SOLR Webapp instance for it to : read the index files, is it mandatory? In a distributed environment, do : we always have to : : Bounce the SOLR Webapp instances to reflect the changes in the index : files?
it sounds like you esentially have a master/slave setup except that instead of using the distribution scripts to copy the index from one to the other, they both use the same physical files via an NFS mount. if you send a commit command to your "slave" search server, it will reopen the index (without needing to bounce the port) -Hoss
