Hi Everyone, I am new to Solr, and still trying to get my hands on it. I have indexed over 6 million documents and currently have a single large index. I update my index using SolrJ client due to the format I store my documents (i.e. JSON blobs) in database.
I need to find a way to have multiple indexes for one solr instance. One for ongoing query search and one for updating index with new documents/schema etc. the idea is to switch between indexes while one is being updated. So that users could still search my index. I know Solr supports multiple cores and I have read wiki pages plus mailing lists on this, which help alot. However I am still confused with the need of having two separate indexes. I have solr.xml in solr.home dir with two dirs for each core and each core has conf folder copied from standard solr.home folder. Do i need data folder in each core's directory? and Should i copy/paste the index folder in each core's directory? Thanks for your help in advance!! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/need-help-with-Solr-Cores-tp27767694p27767694.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
