Hi Rupert, tried again on one of the machines and I still get the same behaviour.
What actually happens is: 1) I start Stanbol and the default dbpedia index is installed in dbpedia-2013.01.15 This dir is about 100MB 2) I add the dbpedia.solrindex.zip (which is about 3.5 GB) to stanbol/datafiles and at that moment two different folders are created dbpedia-2013.01.15-1 dbpedia-2013.01.15-2 They grow to the same size (about 9.5 GB) After the process stops dbpedia-2013.01.15 is deleted (the default index). The ref file points to dbpedia-2013.01.15-2 I have checked the logs, but can only see references to an error which states "Too many close" on the SolrCore: 15.01.2013 15:16:14.493 *INFO* [Thread-44] org.apache.stanbol.commons.solr.managed.impl.ManagedSolrServerImpl ... start to ACTIVATE Index dbpedia on ManagedSolrServer 15.01.2013 15:16:19.493 *INFO* [DataFileTrackingDaemon] org.apache.stanbol.commons.stanboltools.datafileprovider.impl.tracking.DataFileTrackerImpl ... tracking stopped! 15.01.2013 15:22:57.477 *WARN* [OsgiInstallerImpl] org.apache.solr.handler.component.SpellCheckComponent No queryConverter defined, using default converter 15.01.2013 15:22:57.526 *INFO* [OsgiInstallerImpl] org.apache.stanbol.commons.solr.RegisteredSolrServerTracker ... in addingService for IndexReference[server:null,index:dbpedia] (ref: [org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore]) 15.01.2013 15:22:57.529 *INFO* [OsgiInstallerImpl] org.apache.stanbol.commons.solr.managed Service [173] ServiceEvent REGISTERED 15.01.2013 15:22:57.530 *INFO* [OsgiInstallerImpl] org.apache.stanbol.commons.solr.RegisteredSolrServerTracker ... in removedService for IndexReference[server:null,index:dbpedia] (ref: [org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore], service org.apache.solr.client.solrj.embedded.EmbeddedSolrServer@5dcfd078) 15.01.2013 15:22:57.606 *INFO* [OsgiInstallerImpl] org.apache.stanbol.commons.solr.managed Service [167] ServiceEvent UNREGISTERING 15.01.2013 15:22:57.616 *ERROR* [OsgiInstallerImpl] org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore Too many close [count:-1] on org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore@33318b82.

Index dbpedia on ManagedSolrServer default is now ACTIVE It is like the installing phase starts with two different concurrent threads and ends up with two different indexes (which are actually the same). What do you think the cause could be?
