I've been looking over this replication wiki and I'm still unclear on a two points about Solr Replication: 1. If there have been small changes to the index on the master, does the slave copy the entire contents of the index files that were affected? a. Let's say I add one document to the master. Presumably that causes changes to the position file, amidst a few others. Does the slave download the entire position file? Or just the portion that was changed? 2. If you have a multi-core slave, is it possible to share one configuration file (i.e. one instance directory) amidst the multiple cores, and yet each core poll a different master? a. Can you set the masterUrl for each core separately in the server.xml? Thanks for your help, Gio.
