Prasi, It is not possible to use the index files of one solr instance for the second instance. The reason behind this is while booting the solr instance it will get lock the schema and index files to make sure other instance won't update the index and schema files.
As you mentioned like want the second instance in separate machine, you can configure the second one as child and the first instance as parent and configure the replication time based on your update operation on the parent index. Thanks, SureshKumar.S ________________________________________ From: Prasi S <prasi1...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2014 2:44 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Network path for data directory Hi, I have solr index directory in a machine. I want a second solr instance on a different server to use this index. Is it possible to specify the path of a remote machine for data directory.
