Hi All, I am new to Solr and would really appreciate some help on this issue. I have a single core setup currently and have separate instances for querying and indexing. These two instances point to different data directories through symbolic links since I do not want it to affect the "live" searching instance. Once the indexing is done, I swap the directories to which the symbolic links point, so that the "live" searching instance now points to the directory where the new data was indexed. But this does not seem to work, without restarting solr. I guess my purpose can probably be acheived using multiple cores and SWAP(?), but wanted to know if there is a way to do this with a single core? Is there some command needed once the directories are swapped? I see in the core description, that the "directory" entry under "index" did not change after updating the symlinks.

Thanks a lot Regards, Rohit Harchandani
