Folks: Reading the wiki, I saw the following statement: "Force a fetchindex on slave from master command : http://slave_host:port/solr/replication?command=fetchindex
It is possible to pass on extra attribute 'masterUrl' or other attributes like 'compression' (or any other parameter which is specified in the <lst name="slave"> tag) to do a one time replication from a master. This obviates the need for hardcoding the master in the slave. " In my case, I cannot hardcode the masterurl in the config file. I want a cron job to issue the replication commands for each of the slaves. So I issued the following command: http://localhost/postings/replication?command=fetchIndex&masterUrl=http%3a%2f%2flocalhost%2fpostingsmaster I got the following exception: HTTP Status 500 - Severe errors in solr configuration. Check your log files for more detailed information on what may be wrong. If you want solr to continue after configuration errors, change: <abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError> in null ------------------------------------------------------------- org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: 'masterUrl' is required for a slave at org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller.<init>(SnapPuller.java:126) at ....other lines removed.... Why is error message asking me to specify the masterUrl in the config file when the wiki states that this is optional? Or, am I understanding this incorrectly? Thanks, - Bill
