First, I would like to apologize if this is a repeat question but can't seem to get the right answer anywhere.
- What happens to pending documents when the server dies abruptly? I understand that when the server shuts down gracefully, it will commit the pending documents and close the IndexWriter. For the case where the server just crashes, I am assuming that the pending documents are lost but would it also corrupt the index files? If so, when the server comes back online what is the state? I would think that a full re-indexing is in order. - What are the dangers of having n-number of ReadOnly Solr instances pointing to the same data directory? (Shared by a SAN)? Will there be issues with locking? This is a scenario with replication. The Read-Only instances are pointing to the same data directory on a SAN. Thank you very much. Z
