I was going through some old emails on this topic. Rafael Rossini figured out how to run multiple indices on single instance of jetty but it has to be jetty plus. I guess jetty doesn't allow this? I suppose I can add additional jars and make it work but I haven't tried that. It'll always be much safer/simpler/less playing around if a feature is available out of box.
I'm mentioning this again because I really think it's a desirable feature, especially because each JVM uses a lot of memory and sometimes it's not possible to start a new jetty for each index due to memory limitation. I understand I can use a type field and mix doc types but this is not ideal for two reasons: 1. it's easier to maintain separate indices. I can just wipe out all the files and re-post an individual index. Much less posting work to do as opposed to re-posting all docs. Or I can move one index to another partition, or even to another server to run separately in order to scale up. It'll be a problem (although solvable by deleting and re-posting) with a mixed index. 2. my understanding is that mixed index means larger index files and slower performance JettyPlus's download links seem to be broken so I wasn't able to check its download size. If not too big, maybe JettyPlus is an option? If not, there should be a way to have this feature implemented on solr side? Maybe by prefixing the REST URLs with index names... -- Thanks, Jack
