Depending on how often synonyms are added you may or may not have/want to make Solr reload your synonyms. If you use index-time synonyms you definitely don't want to reindex every time they change if they change more frequently than what it takes to reindex. I believe you can use new MultiCore methods for loading/reloading cores to get synonyms to reload.
