Ryan McKinley commented on SOLR-350: ------------------------------------ > If we were to use the 'alias' to map behaviors, how would an alias map different behaviors? Alias just offer multiple ways to access the *same* core and the same behavior. RequestHandlers don't know what path requested them. My point about mod_rewrite was referring to the use case you referred to: making the log files easier to parse per user. Re production and stage, why do you need aliasing for that? each core has name - when 'stage' is ready -- it can swap with 'production' > 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 > so if you serialize at the beginning, you have: <core name="core,0" alias="main" ... /> at the end you have: <core name="core,1" alias="main" ... /> if you run that every hour, do you end up with "core,1000" or switch between them? This would require you ask MultiCore, what i the 'id' for the core sitting at 'main' before you can operate on it.
