Folks: I do not want to hardcode the masterUrl in the solrconfig.xml of my slave. If the masterUrl tag is missing from the config file, I am getting an exception in solr saying that the masterUrl is required. So I set it to some dummy value, comment out the poll interval element, and issue a replication command manually like so:
http://localhost:port/postings/replication?command=fetchIndex&masterUrl=http://localhost:port/postingsmaster/replication Now no internal exception, solr responds with a status "OK" for the above request, the tomcat logs show no error but the index is not replicated. When I issue the details command to the slave, I see that it ignored the masterUrl on the command line but instead complains that the master url in the config file (which I had set to a dummy value) is not correct. (Just fyi, I have tried sending in the masterUrl to the above command with url encoding and also without. in both cases, I got the same result.) Soooo....how exactly do I avoid hardcoding the masterUrl in the config file? Any pointers/help will be greatly appreciated! - Bill
