1. Is it possible to query from another index folder (say index1) in solr?
I think you're looking for the multi-core feature. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/MultipleIndexes http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin
2. Is it possible to query 2 indexes(folders index1 and index2) stored in the same machine using the same port on a single solr instance?
Sounds like multi-core.
3. consider a case: i have indexes in 2 shards, and i merge the indexes (present in 2 shards) onto the 3rd shard now i add more documents into shard1 and delete some documents from shard 2 and update the indexes. is it possible to send the differences only into shard 3 and then merge it at shard 3?
My (very limited) understanding of shards is that you repartition your documents among shards and send each document to only one shard. (Not sure this is correct.) Michael Ludwig
