Re: Load cores without restarting/reloading Solr
Can some one please answer this. Is there a way of creating/adding a core and starting it without having to reload Solr ?

Re: Load cores without restarting/reloading Solr
Hi Peter We are using the packaged Ubuntu Server (10.04 LTS) versions of Tomcat6 and Solr1.4 and running a single instance of Solr with multiple cores.

We are using the setup described here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat With the help of several different Tomcat Context xml files (under conf/Catalina/localhost/) the cores should be independent webapps: A different data directory (+config) and even a different solr version is possible. Or are you using the same setup? Regards, Peter. Hi Sorry, it wasn't very clear was it? [?] Yes, I use a 'template' core that isn't used and create a copy of this on the command line. I then edit the newcore/conf/solrconfig.xml and set the data path, add data-import sections etc and then I edit the solr.home/solr.xml and add the core name directory to that. I then go to the Tomcat manager/html and reload Solr. The problem I get is that if I have broken something in the new core Solr (correctly) doesn't reload and the other cores aren't then working. I don't need replication just yet but I will be looking into that eventually.

Hi We have a few cores set up for separate sites and one of these is in use constantly. When I add a new core I can currently copying one of the other cores and renaming it, changing the conf etc and then reloading Solr via the tomcat manager.

My questions are: 1) Is using a separate core for different sites the correct method? 2) Is there a way of creating a core and starting it without having to reload Solr or restart tomcat? 3) I've looked at the Solr Cores CREATE handler but from what I gather, I need to create the core folder and edit the solr.xml first before loading the core with action=CREATE. Is that correct? Regards Andrew
