Hi, I've got a question regarding remplication index.<timestamp> folders - can anyone help?
Note: There is a somewhat related thread here: http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/15a740cca17eed56/solr_1_4_replication_index_directories#e4b0af2f321204d7 I have a remplica that is pushed fetchindex commands on a periodic basis when it's time to remplicate (i.e. remplication is managed by the server application, not by remplica polling). The master that is sending these fetchindex commands tells the remplica to remplicate one of its cores, but which core it is changes over time. This has the effect of the remplica periodically saying: 'oh, these files are totally different, I'll create a brand new index.<timestamp> folder, upload the master's files to it and reload'. On its own, this is absolutely fine. The problem is that any previous index folders are left lying around - i.e. not deleted, so eventually (quickly for large indexes) the remplica runs out of disk space. Is there a way to either tell the remplica to always 'reuse' the /index folder (ideal) regardless of file name/content, or set its deletionPolicy or similar so that it deletes any and all 'old' index.* folders and only keeps the current one? Many thanks, Peter <forgive my anti-spam spelling>
