What do you mean by "full import" in this context? Are you simply POSTing the XML file to Solr, or do you have a custom data import handler for which you trigger a full-import? > > I've got a few question: > > if full import is triggered while solr is still busy importing from the > previous call, what will happen? If a full-import is still running, the standard DataImportHandler interface: solr/dataimport?command=full-import will inform you that an import is still running, and a fresh import will not be started. > shall i use delta-import instead of full-import as most of xml files may > remain unchanged? [...] How about having a script that runs periodically (say, at off-peak hours where files are not being edited), checks the last-modified time of each file, and if the file has been modified since the last import, POSTs the file to Solr? Seems like this would be a simple solution. Regards, Gora
