It is redundancy. You have to balance the cost of redundancy with the cost in performance with your web index requested by your windows service. If your windows service is not too aggressive in its requests, go for shards.

Can two web apps (solr instances ) share a single index file to search on it without interfering each other Regards, JAME VAALET Software Developer EXT :8108 Capital IQ -----Original Message----- From: Pierre GOSSE [mailto:pierre.go...@arisem.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2011 5:12 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: RE: searching a subset of SOLR index >From what you tell us, I guess a separate index for website docs would be the >best.

Pierre -----Message d'origine----- De : Jame Vaalet [mailto:jvaa...@capitaliq.com] Envoyé : mardi 5 juillet 2011 13:14 À : solr-user@lucene.apache.org Objet : RE: searching a subset of SOLR index I have got two applications 1. website The website will enable any user to search the document repository , and the set they search on is known as website presentable 2. windows service The windows service will search on all the documents in the repository for fixed set of key words and store the found result in database.this set is universal set of documents in the doc repository including the website presentable. Website is a high prioritized app which should work smoothly without any interference , where as windows service should run all day long continuously without break to save result from incoming docs. The problem here is website set is predefined and I don't want the windows service request to SOLR to slow down website request. Suppose am segregating the website presentable docs index into a particular core and rest of them into different core will it solve the problem ? I have also read about multiple ports for listening request from different apps , can this be used.

But filters are very efficient when working with subset of your index, especially if you reuse the same filter for many queries since there is a cache. If your subsets are always the same subsets, maybe your could use shards. But we would need to know more about what you intend to do, to point to an adequate solution.

But does this range query just limit the universe logically or does it have any mechanism to limit this physically as well .Do we leverage time factor by using the range query ?
