Hi Iam using Solr 4.4 We re-Index our data every week...
Right now the process has a down time - Create new index in staging - Bring production solr down - Copy the index to production - Start the production I want to do this without bringing production down... by using collection aliases - Create a new index in production with date as collection name - once done change the alias to point to the new collection - remove/unload the old collection my Question is: is this a good strategy? or is there something else through which i can do a full re-index and repalce the index ... may be with as low outage as possible..? ./Zahoor
