Otis Gospodnetic commented on SOLR-350:
---------------------------------------
I haven't followed the patches, and I quickly read through the last month's
worth of comments here. One thing that Hoss said caught my attention:
"...easy way to reuse the same solrconfig.xml for multiple cores and still
get subtle changes in behavior - all while making it transparent what
any one solrconfig.xml will do..."
Please count this as my +1 for this.
Yes, one use case is that each core is unique and thus needs unique configs,
but I also have a concrete use case where all cores are identical as far as the
configs go, all that needs to be different is the data directory where the
index lives. In this case, it would be ideal if one could have a single copy
of the schema.xml and solrconfig.xml, and specify core-specific settings (e.g.
data/index dir) in multicore.xml.
It would be even better if configs for cores were not all in a
single/monolithic file - imagine a situation where you have thousands or even
tends of thousands of indices and you add a few hundred or a few thousand new
ones every day, throughout the day. You could certainly regenerate the whole
multicore.xml file every time a new index is added, but it would be much more
efficient to generate just the descriptor for that single new index that was
just created, and tell Solr - "hey, look here, there is a new core/index you
need to be aware of". Perhaps one way to deal with this is to expose an API
(URL) to send such a "hey, look here...." message to Solr, and let Solr
periodically write out multicore.xml to disk.

> 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
