Probably a stupid question with the obvious answer, but if I am
running a Solr master and accepting updates, do I have to stop the
updates when I start the optimise of the index? Or will optimise just
take the latest snapshot and work on that independently of the
incoming updates?
Usually an optimize is performed at the end of the indexing operation.
However, an optimize operation will block incoming update requests until it
completes.
Snapshots are a different story. Solr does not even know about any snapshots
-- all operations are performed on the main index only. If you look under
the hoods, it is the snapshooter shell script which creates the snapshot
directories.
