Thanks Hoss for the clarification. I think I can make a copy of the index for searching and rename 'em. I think I can work around this one but good to know the bigger picture.

: 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? i think at one time we were assuming there might be other types of data you'd want Solr to store besides the index... the assumption is that you tell Solr where you want it to keep all of it's data, and after that you shouldn't care what lives in that directory. if i remember correctly, the dataDir is alwo where the solr snapshots and temp dirs get put ... if Solr let you configure the indexdir directly, we'd need you to also configure those locations seperately -- except that they have to be on the same physical disk for hardlinks to work, so it's relaly just a lot simpler if you tell SOlr the dataDir and let it take care of everything else. (except in your case where you *want* to take care of it ... Solr wasn't really designed for that case) -Hoss
