Hello, I am trying to understand the core Solr terminology. I am looking for correct rather than loose meaning as I am trying to teach an example that starts from easy scenario and may scale to multi-core, multi-machine situation.
Here are the terms that seem to be all overlapping and/or crossing over in my mind a the moment. 1) Index 2) Core 3) Collection 4) Instance 5) Replica (Replica of _what_?) 6) Others? I tried looking through documentation, but either there is a terminology drift or I am having trouble understanding the distinctions. If anybody has a clear picture in their mind, I would appreciate a clarification. Regards, Alex.
