Re: Solr CoreAdmin RELOAD + Properties

2014-03-29 Thread Erick Erickson
Dave:

On a _very_ quick glance, I don't see where the reload action
(coreAdminHandler.handleReloadAction) makes any attempt whatsoever to
even _look_ for any properties to update, so I'd guess it needs a
patch if there's any hope.

So go ahead and create the patch IMO.

This seems like a reasonable idea to me, anyone else think differently?

Best,
Erick

Solr CoreAdmin RELOAD + Properties

2014-03-28 Thread David Stuart
Hey,

In the Solr CoreAdmin CREATE action you have the ability to define arbitrary 
properties by defining propery.[name] = value, this works well in both Solr 3.x 
and Solr 4.x. To change a property value on a core in Solr 3.x you could run 
the CREATE command again and this would overwrite the value. In Solr 4.x you 
get a error saying core exitst (make sense) but I can’t see a way of update the 
properties values via a url without unloading and re creating the core (which 
is not great a this could cause a outage on the live system).

I tried adding the propery.[name] = value as a part of the RELOAD action but 
that was ignored. 

Any ideas? If not I will create a patch for RELOAD to support this 
functionality.

Regards,
