Hi again,
let's say you have 2 solr Instances, which have both exactly the same
configuration (schema, solrconfig, etc).
Could it cause any troubles if we import an index from a SQL database on solr
instance A, and copy the whole
index to the datadir of solr instance B (both solr instances run on different
servers) ?.
As far as i can tell, this should work and solr instance B should have the
exact same index as solr instance A after the copy-process.
I believe this should work, but I would take a couple of precautions.
I'd stop Solr before putting the new index into place. If you can't
have it down for the entirety of the copy process, then copy it into an
adjacent directory, shut down solr, rename the directories, and restart
Solr.
If the Solr that built the index (specifically, the Lucene that comes
with it) is newer than the one that you are copying to, it won't work.
If you've checked all that and if you're still having trouble, let us know.
