That's an awesome tip to keep in ol' toolbox, Christian.

Updating a distributed collection

[Sean Bowman]

If we configure multiple servers to replicate an index and hide them
behind a load balancer, how exactly do we update documents to the
index?  Do we have to send updates just to the master server directly?
Or does the slave somehow manage to forward the update request to the
master server behind the scenes?

Maybe there's more of a detailed guide to the master/slave
configuration I'm missing?  It seems mostly reference material on the
wiki.

Thanks.  Just wanted to check before we dove into configuring the load
balancers.

Yes.  The load-balancer part is only for high availability for queries.

Try:

curl http://localhost:8080/solr/update --data-binary 'adddocfield
name=id2008/fieldfield name=storyTextThe Rain in Spain Falls
Mainly In The Plain/
field/doc/add'

And see if that works.  I don't think curl lets you put a filename in
for the --data-binary parameter.  Has to be the actual data, though
something like this might also work:

curl http://localhost:8080/solr/update --data-binary `cat articles.xml`

Those are open ticks, not apostrophes.

My guess is you have some funny character at the start of the document.
  I have seen funny chars show show up when i edit a UTF-8 file and save
it as ASCII.  If you don't see it in your normal editor, try a different
one.

If that does not help, start with the working example and add modify a
little bit at a time...
