Noble Paul commented on SOLR-920: --------------------------------- bq.What happens when a core has a copy of schema.xml in its conf/ dir and that schema.xml is potentially different from the shared one? for a given path on disk one instance of IndexSchema is maintained in memory. The cache looks as follows . {code:java} // in CoreContainer.java. //The key is the absolute path to the schema.xml. The value is the IndexSchema instance. private Map<String,IndexSchema> schemaCache; {code} It is also possible to maintain a timestamp of the file also in the key (say /data/solr/confschema.xml:yyyyMMddhhmmss)so that if the file is modified a new instance of IndexScema can be created > Cache and reuse IndexSchema > --------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-920 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-920 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Noble Paul > Assignee: Noble Paul > > if there are 1000's of cores then the cost of loading unloading schema.xml > can be prohibitive > similar to SOLR-919 we can also cache the DOM object of schema.xml if the > location on disk is same.
