I'm still talking about a single Lucene index, but with each Document given a "soup" name field and filters automatically available to single out a specific soup.
I agree. I also don't think it is going to work well to have one webapp per index/schema for those of us who want multiple indexes. I think SOLR needs to be able to support multiple Lucene indexes per WAR deployment as well (although your soup idea would work well too) and then allow the requests to specify which index to use, maybe with some defaults. With this idea, you could even imagine an application could upload a schema to SOLR and have it create the index, etc. upon which you could then add documents, etc. No need to do anything command line at all. ---------------------------------------------- Grant Ingersoll http://www.grantingersoll.com --------------------------------- Yahoo!
