I may have found a good solution. I implemented my own SolrEventListener:
public class DynamicIndexerEventListener
implementsorg.apache.solr.core.SolrEventListener{
...
and then called it with a "firstSearcher" element in solrconfig.xml:
<listener event="firstSearcher"
class="com.bestbuy.search.foundation.solr.DynamicIndexerEventListener" />
Then in the newSearcher() method I startup up the thread for my polling
UpdateRequestHandler.
This seems to work, but if anyone has a better (or more tested) approach
please let us know.
