I was hoping someone could explain to me how your Solr multicore process currently operates.
This is what I am thinking about and I was hoping I could get some ideas/suggestions. I have a master/slave setup where the master will be doing all the indexing via DIH. Ill be doing a full-import every day or two with delta-imports being run throughout the day. I want to be able to have have an offline core that will be responsible for the the full-importing and when finished it will be swapped with the live core. While the full-import may take a few hours on the offline core Ill have delta-imports running on the live core. All slaves will be replicating from the master live core. Any comments on this logic? Ok, now to the implementation. I've been playing around with the core admin all day today but Im still unsure on the best way to accomplish the above process. Im guessing first I need to create a new core. Then Ill have to issue a DIH full-import against this new core. Then Ill run a swap command against offline and live cores which should switch the cores. This sounds about right but then Ill have a core named live which will not actually be live anymore right? Is there anyway around this? When setting up the new core what should I use for my instanceDir and dataDir? At first I had something like this home/items/data/live/index home/items/data/offline/index but I dont think this is right. Should I have something like this? home/items/data/index home/items-offline/data/index When creating a new core from an existing core do the index files get copied? Can someone please explain to me this whole process.
