Hi I am using Solr on a 4 node CDH5 cluster (1 namenode, 3 datanodes).
I am running the solr-server on the namenode, and the solr-indexer on each of the datanodes, alongside the hbase regionservers, for NRT indexing of a hbase table. The basics of the indexing seem to work - when I add records via hbase-shell, I can view the records, however *only* after I either restart solr-server, or click "optimize" through the Solr Web UI. Interesting, after I add some records to hbase, the Solr Web UI displays the "current" status as a red stop icon. After I restart/optimize, it turns into a green tick, and I can search and get back the new documents. Is there a way to get solr-server to refresh its view of the index automatically? Or would that even be a good idea? Why doesn't the Web UI have a clear "refresh index" button available...the "optimize" button is usually not available. TIA
