Hi Erik The workflow I'd like to implement is
1- search the index using the incoming query 2- the query is of the type "does entity X exist" 3- if X does not exist in the index then I'd like to add X to the index Currently I am using a custom search component to achieve this by creating a solrserver within the init (or inform) method of the search component and using that instance to update (and commit) the index. I am not sure this is the best approach either and thought using the IndexReader of the search component itself maybe better. Is there a better approach in your opinion? thank you Erik Peyman On Jun 30, 2012, at 8:13 PM, Erick Erickson wrote: > Lots of the index modification (all of it?) has been removed in 4.0 > from IndexReaders... > > It seems like you could always get the directory and open a > SolrIndexWriter wherever you wanted, > but I'm not sure it's a good idea, are there other processes that will > be writing to the index at the > same time? > > What's the purpose here anyway?
