Hello, I do nightly builds for one of my sites. I build the new index in a parallel directory. When it is finished I move the old files to a backup directory(I only save one, delete the previous), move the new database files to the correct place, then stop and restart solr. It sees the new database and uses it.
Moving the old files over, means I always have a quick backup if something goes wrong. It hasn't happened yet though. al On Wed, 2013-01-23 at 13:32 -0600, Ron Poling wrote: > Hello! > > I'm new to solr and trying to figure out how to implement it in our > environment.
