You can do the same job with file system index - write some code which looks at segments.gen file changes and kicks solr when a change is detected. It would be great to add such a mechanism to Solr, I mean some abstracted (via an interface) way to implement index refresh events sources. Also there's code in SolrCore which checks index existence by looking into file system and it would be better to abstract that code too. WDYT? I can provide patches. -- Andrew Klochkov
