As far as I know only one machine can write to an index at a time.
More than that and I got corrupted indexes.
Thanks!

Hi, we are currently evaluating Solr and have been browsing the
archives for
one particular issue but can’t seem to find the answer, so please
forgive me
if I’m asking a repetitive question. We like the idea of having
multiple
slave servers serving up queries and a master performing updates.
However
the the issue for us there is no redundancy for the master. So a
couple of
questions:
1. Can there be multiple masters (or update servers) sharing the
same index
files, performing updates at the same time (ie. Hosting the index on
a SAN)?
2. Is there a recommended architecture utilizing a SAN. (For
example 2
slaves and 2 masters sharing a SAN). We current don’t have that many
records – prob about a million and growing. We are mainly concerned
about
redundancy, then performance.
Thanks
