DS requires a bunch of shard names in the url. That's all. Note that a ds does not use the data of the solr you call.
You can create an entry point for your distributed search by adding a new <requestHandler> element in solrconfig.xml. You would add the shard list parameter to the "defaults" list. Do not have it call the same requesthandler path- you'll get an infinite loop. On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 6:44 PM, Otis Gospodnetic <otis_gospodne...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hm, I don't follow.
