Thanks for the reply Yonik. I'm not using HTTP and using a wrapper to wrap Solr for searching. I'm using RPC to talk to multiple servers.
Can I point 2 Solr instances to the same index partition, having the same path in SolrConfig? Is this safe or I need to make 2 copies of the same index partition and point the Solr instances to these copies? Since my index partition lives on a shared NetApp mount, I'd like to use the same index partition for multiple Solr instances.

To distribute a single index to multiple solr searchers, see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CollectionDistribution You don't have to do it that way though... if you have another mechanism to get the index to the searchers, that could work too. -Yonik
