You don't need to bring down the shards/collections, instead here's what
you can do:
* Retain the filename ("managed_schema", if you didn't change the default
resource name).
* Edit the file locally
* Upload it to replace the current zk file.
* Reload the collection(s).
* ReindexHere's another thing you can do: * Upload the updated configs to zk * Create a new collection (different name) using the new configs * Reindex data to the new collection. * Use collection aliasing to swap the old/new collections. (http://www.anshumgupta.net/2013/10/collection-aliasing-in-solrcloud.html) All this while, you wouldn't really need to shut down the Solr cluster/collection etc. On Wed, Sep 10, 2014 at 8:56 AM, Joseph Obernberger < joseph.obernber...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you - yes that was my question.
