: Apparently, when one RELOADs a core, the synonyms file is not reloaded. Is this : : the expected behaviour? Is it the desired behaviour?
this is not expected, nor is it desired (by me) nor can i reproduce the problem you are talking about. steps i attempted to reproduce: 1) started the example (on trunk) 2) loaded the analysis.jsp page, changed the field pulldown to "type" and entered "text" for the type name. entered "bbbfoo" in the "Field value (Query)" box, and hit the button. 3) verified that synonym filter produced "bbbbar" as a query time synonym. 4) edited the example synony.txt file to add bbbxxxxxxx to the list of synonyms for bbbfoo 5) hit this url: http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=RELOAD&core=collection1 6) went back to the analysis.jsp page and hit the button again. 7) verified that the results changed, and now bbbxxxxxxx was produced as well. If you are seeing situations where after a core reload you do *not* see changes to the synonyms.txt file, then either there is an edge case bug, or perhaps you aren't changing what you think? providing more details about your setup and steps to reproduce would be helpful. : Issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1307 mentions this a bit, but : doesn't go in a lot of depth. I don't understand this sentence ... that issue is a feature request for a (new) general way for plugins to re-init themselves (or some aspect of their config) with out requing an entire core reload, i don't see any comments in that issue (other then the one where you mention this thread) suggesting that a core reload doesn't currently cause synonyms to reload ... if you can be specific about what you mean that would be helpful. -Hoss
