Happy Halloween all,
I have a use case in which I have a custom indexer updating a Solr index. There is supposed to be no index updating via Solr itself - Solr is just a query tool in this case. However, Solr insists on creating an UpdateHandler on startup, which creates a SolrIndexWriter, which then creates a lock file, and which therefore prevents my custom indexer from acquiring a lock. Sure, I can turn off locking which makes it all work, but I was just thinking: wouldn’t it be nice if we could have a NullUpdateHandler? Does that make sense? Or, possibly there is a way for my custom indexer to somehow get the write lock away from Solr, but I don’t know how. Thanks, Lajos
