Hi Karen, snappuller and snapinstaller can be run by hand. I'd try that and I'd check the logs to see what went wrong. Also look at the index directory on the slaves and make sure that the files there match what you see on the master.

Once I delete a record from the master (with java code using CommonsHttpSolrServer from solrj-1.3-dev) the change to the collection shows immediately - via both the http solr/admin query url and via a java client using CommonsHttpSolrServer from solrj-1.3-dev). But after distribution of this latest snapshop to the slave the collection does not show the update (with solr admin query url or via java query client) UNLESS I restart tomcat ? Can anyone explain to me why and perhaps what I need to do to get the change to reflect without a tomcat restart ? Many thanks Karen
