Thanks Yonik but http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/branches/branch_3x/solr/CHANGES.txt says that the lucene index has changed
" Upgrading from Solr 1.4 ---------------------- * The Lucene index format has changed and as a result, once you upgrade, previous versions of Solr will no longer be able to read your indices. In a master/slave configuration, all searchers/slaves should be upgraded before the master. If the master were to be updated first, the older searchers would not be able to read the new index format." not to mention that regression testing is a pain Is there any way to get a set of builds with versions prior to 3.x?? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/how-to-update-solr-to-older-1-5-builds-instead-of-to-trunk-tp1113863p1114353.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
