Every night I dump my mySql db and load it into a development db. I have also configured solr as multicore with production and development as the cores. In order to keep my index on development current, I figured I could do a create to a new core, transition, every night, and then swap development with transition.
I tried to create transition today, but it overwrote production. IOW, it seems to be equivalent to a swap. So, my create command must be wrong. Can someone help me out? My command was: http://myServer:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=transition&instanceDir=production&dataDir=transition/data&config=solrconfig.xml&schema=schema.xml I'm assuming name provides the name of the new core and instanceDir tells it which core to copy ? Thanks in advance
