: We're doing similar thing with multi-core - when a core reaches : capacity (in our case 200 million records) we start a new core. We are : doing this via web service call (Create web service),
this whole thread perplexes me ... while i can understand not wanting to let an index grow without bound becuase of hardware limitation, i don't understand what value you are gaining by creating a new core on the same box -- you're using the same physical resources to search the same number of documents, making multiple cores for this actaully seems like it would take up *more* resources to search the same amount of content, because the individual cores will be isolated and the term dictionaries can't be shared (not to mention you have to do a multi-shard query to get results from all the cores) are you doing something special with the old cores vs the new ones? (ie: create the new cores on new machines, shutdown cores after a certian amount of time has expired, etc...) : > Hi there, : > : > currently we want to add cores dynamically when the active one reaches : > some capacity, : > can anyone give me some hints to achieve such this functionality?
