: : The Wiki Documentation says that "Merged" core must exist prior to calling : the merge command : : So I created the "Merged" core and pointed it to some "data dir". : : However even after merging the cores it does still points to the old "data : dir" : : Shouldn't the merge command create a new data/index or at least the contents : of the merged index.?
you need to provide us with specifics about what exactly you did, and what exactly you are seeing -- ie: are you using hte Solr merge command, or the command line IndexMergeTool? what did the logs say when you ran it? what does the directory structure look like? etc... if you created a SolrCore then it should have already had a data dir containing an index (even if that index is logically empty and contains no documents) the merge command then just copies all the docs from the other indexDirs. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/MergingSolrIndexes -Hoss
