hello, thank you for the reply,
>> Does a "clean" mean issuing a deletion query (e.g. <delete><id>*:*</id></delete>) prior to re-indexing all of your content? I don't think the slaves will download any changes until you've committed at some point on the master. << well, in this case when i say, "clean" (on the Master), i mean selecting the "Full Import with Cleaning" button from the DataImportHandler Development Console page in solr. at the top of the page, i have the check boxes selected for verbose and clean (*but i don't have the commit checkbox selected*). by doing the above process - doesn't this issue a deletion query - then start the import? and as a follow-up - when actually is the commit being done? here is my from my solrconfig.xml file on the master <updateHandler class="solr.DirectUpdateHandler2"> * <autoCommit> <maxTime>60000</maxTime> <maxDocs>1000</maxDocs> </autoCommit>* <maxPendingDeletes>100000</maxPendingDeletes> </updateHandler> -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/should-slave-replication-be-turned-off-on-during-master-clean-and-re-index-tp3945531p3945954.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
