: We use Drupal as the CMS and Solr for our search engine needs and are : planning to have Solr Master-Slave replication setup across the data : centers. I am in the process of testing my replication - what is the : best means to delete the index on the Solr slave and then replicate a : fresh copy from Master? We use Solr 1.3.
I don't really understand your question -- if you wnat to test replication, just update some docs on the master and monitor the slave (via logs and test queries) to see when those changes show up. asking about deleting the index seems .... oddd ... XY problem? http://people.apache.org/~hossman/#xyproblem XY Problem Your question appears to be an "XY Problem" ... that is: you are dealing with "X", you are assuming "Y" will help you, and you are asking about "Y" without giving more details about the "X" so that we can understand the full issue. Perhaps the best solution doesn't involve "Y" at all? See Also: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=542341 -Hoss
