I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow and will have little or no internet
access until sept 1 -- from the 1st to the 7th, I will have limited
access. The one remaining issue that I am concerned about for 1.3 is
how to set the "dataDir" for various cores in a multicore environment
-- SOLR-646 aims to solve this issue.
For more background:
The original "multicore" patch included a dataDir="path" attribute in
the multicore.xml file. Hoss found this problematic since there would
be multiple places to set the dataDir -- it is already set in
solrconfig.xml -- after some discussion, we agreed a good approach
would be to let you set system properties that are valid within the
scope of each core from the multicore.xml (now solr.xml) file.
If SOLR-646 proves to be too complicated to get into 1.3, I would
suggest adding the dataDir attribute back to the core specification
and adding documentation explaining the potential pitfalls.
