: How far is Solr from what Hoss described below - single solr.war with : multiple instances/collections/indices?
: I know it has been discussed in the past, but I don't recall anything : after that. It's already possible to do this with solr out of the box using tomcat... http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat (scroll down) ...i'm 90% sure the same is possible using "JettyPlus" but i haven't confirmed that. The only other hitch is being able to load custom "plugins" (request handlers, output writers, analzyers, etc) that are in your own jar files (outside of the war) by configuring the servlet container to add to the built in classpath ... again, it should be possible right now, it's just a question of what containers support it and how. -Hoss
