Hi All,
This is the scenario, I have two search SOLR instances running on two different partitions, I am treating one of the servers strictly read-only (for search) (search server) and the other Instance (index server) for indexing. The index file data directory reside on a NFS partition, I am running into the following problems, 1) Index dir is /indexdata/data, when I index using the Index server, the index server understands the data dir mentioned in solrconfig.xml, writes the index files To the location and is able to read the files ( I am able to do queries using SOLR Admin) 2) Search server respects the NFS directory, but does not read the index files, SOLR Admin returns no search results, I had to create a sym link to the NFS partition Under $SOLRHOME to point to NFS partition to work. 3) I had to bounce the tomcat search SOLR Webapp instance for it to read the index files, is it mandatory? In a distributed environment, do we always have to Bounce the SOLR Webapp instances to reflect the changes in the index files? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, kasi
