1. No, there is only one instance 2. init() is called 3. check these standard search components: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/tree/trunk/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/handler/component
Depending on what you are doing, you can pick the component that's closest to your purposes. Otherwise, I'd suggest you look into the most important component of all: QueryComponent.java https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/trunk/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/handler/component/QueryComponent.java Also check out the interface: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/trunk/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/handler/component/SearchComponent.java Hope this helps, Tri On Aug 13, 2014, at 06:52 PM, Apurv Verma <dapu...@gmail.com> wrote: Hey all, I am writing my first solr search component and had the following questions. 1. Does each incoming query create a new solr search component object? 2. What happens at the time of core reload? 3. What are some good examples of SearchComponent s written?
