But the slave never gets the message that a core is created...
at least not in my setup...
So it never starts replicating...

Hi

I need some help setting up dynamic multicore replication.

We are changing our setup from a replicated single core index with multiple
document types, as described on the wiki[1], to a dynamic multicore setup.
We need this so that we can display facets with a zero count that are unique
to the document 'type'.

So when indexing new documents we want to create new cores on the fly using
the CoreAdminHandler through SolrJ.

What I can't figure out is how I setup solr.xml and solrconfig.xml so that a
core automatically is also replicated from the master to it's slaves once
it's created.

I have a solr.xml that starts like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<solr persistent="true">
  <cores adminPath="/admin/cores">
  </cores>
</solr>

and the replication part of solrconfig.xml
master:
<requestHandler name="/replication" class="solr.ReplicationHandler">
  <lst name="master">
    <str name="replicateAfter">startup</str>
    <str name="replicateAfter">optimize</str>
    <str name="confFiles">schema.xml</str>
  </lst>
</requestHandler>

slave:
<requestHandler name="/replication" class="solr.ReplicationHandler">
  <lst name="slave">
    <str name="masterUrl">http://localhost:8081/solr/replication</str>
    <str name="pollInterval">00:00:20</str>
  </lst>
</requestHandler>

I think I should change the masterUrl in the slave configuration to
something like:
<str
name="masterUrl">http://localhost:8081/solr/${solr.core.name}/replication</str>
So that the replication automatically finds the correct core replication
handler.
if you have dynamically created cores this is the solution.

But how do I tell the slaves a new core is created, and that is should start
replicating those to?

Thanks in advance.
