Hello, Using Solr 10.10.2 I created a wrapper class plugin that instantiates the Lucene41PostingsFormat with non-default parameters for the minBlockSize and maxBlockSize. I have created a read-only index. (i.e. there will never be any updates to this index.)
I have two questions. 1)I need to be able to give a copy of the index to several people and it would be nice if they didn't have to have a copy of my plugin to read it: Does the index have metadata in it so that a new Solr instance would not need the plugin to read the index properly. i.e. can the block sizes be detected and the index read correctly? 2) How can I tell that the plugin is working (other than lack of OOM errors) Is there anything in the indexwriter (infostream) log or anywhere else where I can confirm that the index that has been written is actually using the block sizes given? Alternatively is there code in a test case I might use to get the block sizes for a segment?
