: I need to find a way to achieve effective index replication on a windows : environment. : From previous posts, I understand that the issue preventing the current : solution from working stems from windows support of hard links.
it's related to hardlinks, but not that windows doesnt' support them -- it's that windows doesn't let you delete (or move?) a hardlink while that file is open. : Has anyone made any progress on solving this issue? : Or can anyone give good advice on possible solution concepts. : I'm thinking that rather than using file-system tricks, perhaps there might be : a simple means to switch the file system location that the index readers use : within SOLR. unfortunately there's no easy way i can think of to tweak Solr to say "from now on open searchers on ./this/dir" ... i suspect that in 1.3 the easiest way to deal with replication on Windows may turn out to be using the MultiCore support and the (really cool) "SWAP" core opperation ryan and henri are working on (it will maintain the state on restart and everything). -Hoss
