: is it required to open the searcher in the constructor of SolrCore?. : We have a usecase where we just open a SolrCore to write a document : and close it. Opening the searcher is proving to be quite expensive : for us.
Hmmm... i suspect it was setup that way initially because "add" required a searcher to check for an existing doc to delete first. conceptually we should be able to change the SolrCore so a searcher is only opened once needed -- but practically this may be a challenge ... i believe there are more then a few places where an assumtion is made about there being at least one open searcher. -Hoss
