The SOLR wiki says >>3. Make sure both indexes you want to merge are closed.
What exactly does 'closed' mean? 1. Do I need to stop SOLR search on both indexes before running the merge command? So a brief downtime is required? Or do I simply prevent any 'updates/deletes' to these indices during the merge time so they can still serve up results (read only?) while I am creating a new merged index? 2. Before the new index replaces the old index, do I need to stop SOLR for that instance? Or can I simply move the old index out and place the new index in the same place, without having to stop SOLR 3. If SOLR has to be stopped during the merge operation, can we work with a redundant/failover instance and stagger the merge so the search service will not go down? Any guidelines here are welcome.
