First, a core is a separate index so it is completely indipendent from
the already existing core(s). So basically you don't need to reindex.
In order to have two cores (but the same applies for n cores): you must
have in your solr.home the file (solr.xml) described here
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solr.xml%20%28supported%20through%204.x%29
then, you must obviously have one or two directories (corresponding to
the "instanceDir" attribute). I said one or two because if the indexes
configuration is basically the same (or something changes but is
dynamically configured - i.e. core name) you can create two instances
starting from the same configuration. I mean
<solr persistent="true" sharedLib="lib">
<cores adminPath="/admin/cores">
<core name="core0" instanceDir="*conf.dir*" />
<core name="core1" instanceDir="*conf.dir*" />
</cores>
</solr>
Otherwise you must have two different conf directories that contain
indexes configuration. You should already have a first one (the current
core), you just need to have another conf dir with solrconfig.xml,
schema.xml and other required files. In this case each core will have
its own instanceDir.
<solr persistent="true" sharedLib="lib">
<cores adminPath="/admin/cores">
<core name="core0" instanceDir="*conf.dir.core0*" />
<core name="core1" instanceDir="*conf.dir.core1*" />
</cores>
</solr>
Best,
Andrea

Dear Users,
(Solr3.6 + Tomcat7)
I use since two years Solr with one core, I would like now to add one
another core (a new database).
Can I do this without re-indexing my core1 ?
could you point me to a good tutorial to do that?
(my current database is around 200Go for 86 000 000 docs)
My new database will be little, around 1000 documents of 5ko each.
thanks a lot,
Bruno
