Ok, so I think I was confusing the terminology (still in a 3.X mindset I guess.)
>From the Cloud->Tree, I do see that I have "collections" for what I was calling "core1", "core2", etc. So, to redo the above, Servers: index1, index2, index3 Collections: (on each) coll1, coll2 Collection (core?) on index1: coll1new Each Collection has 1 shard (too small to make sharding worthwhile). So should I run something like this: http://index1:8080/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATEALIAS&name=coll1&collections=col11new Or will I need coll1new to be on each of the index1, index2 and index3 instances of Solr? -- Chris On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 12:40 PM, Shawn Heisey <s...@elyograg.org> wrote: > On 10/16/2013 9:44 AM, Christopher Gross wrote: > > Garth, > > > > I think I get what you're saying, but I want to make sure. > > > > I have 3 servers (index1, index2, index3), with Solr living on port 8080. > > > > Each of those has 3 cores loaded with data: > > core1 (old version) > > core1new (new version) > > core2 (unrelated to core1) > > > > If I wanted to make it so that queries to core1 are really going to > > core1new, I'd run: > > > http://index1:8080/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATEALIAS&name=core1&collections=core1new&shard=shard1 > > Alias is a *Collections* API concept, not a CoreAdmin API concept. > > One question is this: Do you have a *collection* named core1, or just a > *core* named core1?
