Thanks Sahlin and Ryan for your posts... I think the snapshooter will work fine for creating the indexes and then I can use the multicore capabilities to make them available to users.... one final question though, after snapshot has been created is there a way to totally clear out the contents in the master index - or have solr recreate the data directory?
Thanks, Willie Ryan McKinley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/07/2008 11:17 AM Please respond to solr-user@lucene.apache.org To solr-user@lucene.apache.org cc Subject Re: Automated Index Creation re-reading your post... Shalin is correct, just use the snapshooter script to create a point- in-time snapshot of the index. The multicore stuff will not help with this. ryan On Jul 8, 2008, at 11:09 AM, Shalin Shekhar Mangar wrote: > Hi Willie, > > If you want to have backups (point-in-time snapshots) then you'd need > something similar to the snapshooter script used in replication.
