Hi Is there a REST API in Solr that allows me to query a certain Replica/core? I am writing some custom replica-recovery code and I'd like to verify that it works well.
I wanted to use the /collection/select API, passing shards=host.under.test:ip/solr/collection, but that also works even if 'host.under.test' does not hold any local replicas. This makes sense from a distributed search perspective, but doesn't help me. Also, passing distrib=false, which I found by searching the web, didn't help and seems to be ignored, or at least there's still a fallback that makes 'host.under.test' access the other nodes in the cluster to fulfill the request. Next I looked at /admin/cores?action=STATUS API. This looks better as it allows me to list the cores on 'host.under.test' and I can get index-wide statistics such as numDocs and maxDoc. This is better cause in my tests I know how many documents I should expect. But I was wondering if (1) Is Core admin API the proper way to achieve what I want, or is there a better way? (2) Is there core-specific API for select/get, like there is for /collection. I tried /core.name/select, but again, I received results even when querying the node w/ no local replicas. Shai
