: But when I try to load this codec directly via Solrconfig.xml CodecFactory : as below. : : : <codecFactory : class="org.apache.lucene.codecs.encrypted.DummyEncryptedLucene60Codec"/>
...there is a difference between a (lucene layer) Codec. And a (solr layer) CodecFactory. Having the codec code in place (with the necessary SPI metadata files) let's Solr/Lucene *read* indexes written in that codec, but in order to create new indexes with your codec, you have to write a concrete implementation of the CodecFactory abstract class and provide that *Factory* class name in your <codecFactory /> config line. There is probably no CodecFactory for your DummyEncryptedLucene60Codec defined in the patch you're trying out. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
