Henri Biestro commented on SOLR-350: ------------------------------------ If we are making a new index - a new index version-, it can mean the schema and the config can change; I may change my analysis chain or schema but also warming queries, cache set up, etc. The config is thus not necessarily the same. I may also want to have the new setup tested by a group of users before I make it available to the whole population; http://host/productionl versus http://host/stage. I might even have automated tests that verify that some queries do return some expected documents. If we were to use the 'alias' to map behaviors, it seems more convenient to declare those within Solr than anywhere else; describing that http://host/ryan/select queries on core main with an automated fq author='ryan' should not force mod-rewrite usage imho. Finally, the 'alias' command as it stands, allows to redefine an alias (without havng to unalias first) so the sequence would be: (considering <core name="core,0" alias="main" ... />) LOAD core,1 // which could even be aliased as 'stage' at this time send adds to core,1 // when done, could run verifications on 'stage' ALIAS core,1 main // 'swap' so to speak, overwrites previous 'main' alias UNLOAD core,0 > Manage Multiple SolrCores > ------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-350 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-350 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: Ryan McKinley > Attachments: SOLR-350-MultiCore.patch, SOLR-350-MultiCore.patch, > SOLR-350-MultiCore.patch, SOLR-350-Naming.patch, solr-350.patch, > solr-350.patch, solr-350.patch, solr-350.patch, solr-350.patch > > > In SOLR-215, we enabled support for more then one SolrCore - but there is no > way to use them yet. > We need to make some interface to manage, register, modify avaliable SolrCores -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
