: What you're talking about is effectively promoting the spellcheck : index to a first-class Solr index, instead of an appendage bolted on : the side of an existing core. Given sharding and distributed search, : this may be a better design.
even w/o promoting the spell index to be a "main" index, it still seems like the "rebuild" aspect of SpellCheck component could be improved to take advantage of regular Lucene IndexReader semanics: don't reopen the reader used to serve SpellComponent requests untill the "new" index is completley built. I'm actaully really suprised that it doesn't work that way right now -- but i imagine this has to do with the way the SpellCheckCOmponent deals with the SpellChecker abstraction that hides the index -- still, it seems like there's room for improvement there. -Hoss -- http://lucenerevolution.org/ ...
