Multiple indexes can be setup using the multi core feature of Solr.
Below are the steps:
1. Add the core name and storage location of the core to
the $SOLR_HOME/solr.xml file.
<cores adminPath="/admin/cores" defaultCoreName="core-name1"" >
*<core name="core-name1" instanceDir="core-dir1" />*
* <core name="core-name2" instanceDir="core-dir2" />*
</cores>
2. Create the core-directories specified and following sub-directories in
it:
- conf: Contains the configs and schema definition
- lib: Contains the required libraries
- data: Will be created automatically on first run. This would contain
the actual index.
While indexing the docs, you specify the core name in the url as follows:
http://<host>:<port>/solr/<core-name>/update?<parameters>
Similarly you do while querying.
Please refer to Solr Wiki, it has the complete details.
Hope this helps!
