dooh, should check all my email first!
Will Solr automatically reload the file if it changes or does it have
to be informed of the change?
I'll expose my confusion here and say that I don't know for sure, but
I'm pretty sure that once it's been loaded it won't get reloaded without
bouncing Solr altogether.
Correct. The StopFilterFactory is initialized at startup, any changes
to the file won't take effect 'till solr restarts.
but you can write a custom FilterFactory based on StopFilterFactory that
lets you change it dynamically. Most likely this would also require
writing a custom RequestHandler to manipulate it.
note - changing the stop words at runtime will only effect queries, the
index will keep whatever was there at index time.
