: Everything seems to work fine, but sometime it seems that the webapp : Stop doesn't properly stop the webapp since the files remains locked : (but the webapp is : actually stopped) and so the delete could not be done.
it may take some time for the Solr webapp to completely shut itself down when you send the "Stop" command to tomcat ... it depends on wether there are any updates pending, or if it's in hte middle of a large commit -- or even if it's in the middle of processing some intensive query requests. : Is their a way, like '<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>', to reinit : the synonyms and stopword list without stopping the solr webapp ? nope. those files are only read when the factories are instantiated by the schema .. and the schema is only read on application startup. -Hoss
