Em, yes, you can replace the index (get the new one into a separate folder like index.new and then rename it to the index folder) outside the Solr, then just do the http call to reload the core.
Note that the old index files may still be in use (continue to serve the queries while reloading), even if the old index folder is deleted - that is on Linux filesystems, not sure about NTFS. That means the space on disk will be freed only when the old files are not referenced by Solr searcher any longer. -Alexander On Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 1:51 PM, Em <mailformailingli...@yahoo.de> wrote: > > Hi Erick, > > thanks for your response. > > Yes, it's really not that easy. > > However, the target is to avoid any kind of master-slave-setup. > > The most recent idea i got is to create a new core with a data-dir pointing > to an already existing directory with a fully optimized index. > > Regards, > Em > -- > View this message in context: > http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Multicore-Relaod-Theoretical-Question-tp2293999p2310709.html > Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >
