Hi, we run several independent websites on the same machines. Each site uses a similar codebase for search. Currently each site contacts its own solr server on a slightly different port. This means of course that we are running several solr servers (each on their own port) on the same machine. I would like to make this simpler by running just one server, listening on one port. Can we do this and at the same time have the indexes and search data separated for each web site?
So, I'm asking if I can namespace or federate the solr server. But by doing so I would like to have the indexes etc. not comingled within the server. Im new to solr so there might be a hiccup from the fact that currently each solr server points to its own directory on a site-specific path (something like /apps/<site>/solr/*) which contains the solr plugin (were using ruby on rails). Can this be setup as a namespace (one for each web site) within the single server instance? Mike
