Thanks for your suggestion and I pretty much agree. Part of the reason, which I didn't mention in my original question, that I am looking for a command line tool is to use it for quick diagnosis. I could point it to a different index just by changing one of the command line parameters, without having to modify the solrconfig.xml file and restart a servlet container, then go to a browser to issue query.
Thanks for all who replied. The solr community is impressive. - peter Golly, let me think. I can use the out-of-the-box, tested Solr stuff for syncing indexes or I can invent some command line kludge that does the same thing, except I will need to write it and test it myself. Which one is easier? Seriously, the existing Solr index distribution is great stuff. I strongly recommend that you try it and ask the list about any problems you run into. I'm quite impressed with Solr. It is working very well here at Netflix. We have 2M queries/day on the front end and 6M qpd at the search farm (five servers). wunder -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/searching-from-command-line--tp16040889p16049036.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
