Another question... I have a series of cores representing historical data, only the most recent of which gets indexed to.
I'd like to alias the most recent one to 'current' so that when they roll over I can just change the alias, and the cron jobs etc. which manage indexing don't have to change. However, the wiki recommends against using the ALIAS command in CoreAdmin in a couple of places, and SOLR-1637 says it's been removed now anyway. If I can't use ALIAS safely, is it okay to just symlink the most recent core's instance (or data) directory to 'current', and bring it up in Solr as a separate core? Will this be safe, as long as all index writing happens via the 'current' core? Or will it cause Solr to get confused and do horrible things to the index? Thanks!
