Re: Dispatching a query to multiple different cores
You could use Solr's distributed (shards parameter) capability to do this. However, if you've got somewhat different schemas that isn't necessarily going to work properly. Perhaps unify your schemas in order to facilitate this using Solr's distributed search feature? Erik On Aug 3, 2011, at 05:22 , Ahmed Boubaker wrote: Hello there!

Is it possible to acces other SolrCore which are in the same container as the meta core? Many thanks for your help. Boubaker
Re: Dispatching a query to multiple different cores
However, if you unify your schemas to do this, I'd consider whether you really want seperate cores/shards in the first place. If you want to search over all of them together, what are your reasons to put them in seperate solr indexes in the first place? Ordinarily, if you want to search over them all together, the best place to start is putting them in the same solr index. Then, the distribution/sharding feature is generally your next step, only if you have so many documents that you need to shard for performance reasons. That is the intended use case of the distribution/sharding feature. On 8/8/2011 4:54 PM, Erik Hatcher wrote: You could use Solr's distributed (shards parameter) capability to do this.
