Hello! I'm new to solr and trying to figure out how to implement it in our environment. My question involves building the index. Our data does not lend itself to delta updates so we have to build the entire index each time. Is there some way to feed solr a file with all index records and tell it to throw away all current data and use only the new? I'm guessing that I could delete everything and add all the new records, but until the new index was built, solr would not be able to service my web app. I would like to build the new index in solr and then tell it to switch to it and remove the old one. Is that possible? Another way of doing the might be to update the current index with the new data and then delete everything that didn't get updated.
Any help here would be appreciated so I can focus on the things in the wiki that I need to before I start implementing. Thanks!
