------------------------------------------------------------

The SnapShooter is not written right (thread safety). soon after you commit the 
patch , I can give a patch . After I fix it I can update the wiki w/ proper 
documentation. 

Snapshoot is not a very important feature in  the current scheme of things. It 
is useful only if somebody wants to do periodic backups

Should we try OS specific copy? 
Hardlinks can be used in *nix and Windows can also do hardlinks if fsutils is 
present. If not ,we can do a proper copy

> The current replication strategy in solr involves shell scripts . The 
> following are the drawbacks with the approach
> *  It does not work with windows
> * Replication works as a separate piece not integrated with solr.
> * Cannot control replication from solr admin/JMX
> * Each operation requires manual telnet to the host
> Doing the replication in java has the following advantages
> * Platform independence
> * Manual steps can be completely eliminated. Everything can be driven from 
> solrconfig.xml .
> ** Adding the url of the master in the slaves should be good enough to enable 
> replication. Other things like frequency of
> snapshoot/snappull can also be configured . All other information can be 
> automatically obtained.
> * Start/stop can be triggered from solr/admin or JMX
> * Can get the status/progress while replication is going on. It can also 
> abort an ongoing replication
> * No need to have a login into the machine 
> * From a development perspective, we can unit test it
> This issue can track the implementation of solr replication in java
