Hi Steve and Guillaume - If you subscribe to this GitHub issue you can provide input and follow progress on improving access to solrconfig.xml: https://github.com/basho/yokozuna/issues/537
You might be able to restart a Solr core via the HTTP /solr endpoint - that may be easier than restarting all of Riak. -- Luke Bakken Engineer lbak...@basho.com On Tue, May 31, 2016 at 8:54 AM, Steve Garon <steve.ga...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Guillaume, > > We had to alter the solrconfig.xml in our deployment because the default > solrconfig.xml does not give good search throughput with a large amount of > documents updating often.
