Hi Roy, Unless your servers are maxed out, I'd do with:
1. Set up Solr 4.0 on the same servers... or just 1 (additional even) 2. Reindex to Solr 4.0 or use SolrEntityProcessor if all fields from 3.6 index are stored 3. Add the super secret, for your eyes only 21st client with Solr 3.6 and point it to the Solr 4.0 index. I'd put my money on "Solr 3.6 client will work with Solr 4.0". And yes, Solr 4.0 should be able to read Solr 3.6.* indices.
