Hi, I am researching about core administration using Solr. My requirement is to be able to provision/create/delete indexes dynamically. I have tried it and it works. Apparently core admin handler will create a new core by specifying the instance Directory (required), along with data directory, and so on. The issue I'm having is that a separate app that lives on a different machine need to create these new cores on demand along with creating new schema.xml and data directories. The required instance directory, data directory and others need to be separate from each core.
My first approach is to write a tool that would take additional params that can code gen the schema config files and so on based on different type of documents. ie: Homes, People, etc... But I need to know if Solr already handles that case. I wouldn't want to have to write the tool if Solr already supports creating cores with new configs on the fly. Thanks, Z
