I don't know why the OP wants two cores, but I ran into this same problem and had to abandon using a second core. My use case is: I have lots of slowing-changing documents, and a few often-changing documents. Those classes of documents are updated by different people using different processes. I wanted to split them into separate cores so that: 1) The large core wouldn't change except deliberately so there would be less chance of a bug creeping in. Also, that core is the same on different servers, so they could be replicated. 2) The small core would update and optimize quickly and the data in it is different on different servers. The problem is that the search results should return relevancy as if there were only one core.
