Thanks Yonik and Chris for your confirmation. Chris, these are read-only index partitions. I perform updates/deletions on a master index which will be snapshotted at some fixed intervals. I'll look into the Collection Distribution of Solr. Sounds very powerful.
I'm struck with Solr requiring an index directory under dataDir configured in SolrConfig. Why does it not take a complete path_to_index configured under dataDir but append "index"? Is there anyway I can workaround this? org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore: this.index_path = dataDir + "/" + "index"; Thanks, Venkatesh On 3/8/07, Chris Hostetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

(just like using the snapshot scripts, except you don't need to snapshoot, snappull, or snapinstall) -Hoss
