I know Verity needed periodic optimize calls on the collection. You can also do DIH indexing which can be configured to update things based on a SQL query and a time stamp, which would *not* mean unnecessary indexing.

My confidence is not high on this. How does GSA handle this?

Just wanted to put out there my own experiences w/ setting up Solr. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:354981 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
