How can we re-use an existing lucene index file (.cfs) in Solr and search on it in solr? I need to do this as the index is created on one machine(client) to be used by solr server for searching. The solr server will refer to this index file by some http url. We cannot store this index file on the solr server.
Solr needs file-level access to the Lucene index, perhaps by some shared disk - but not via HTTP.
You certainly can use an indexed created by pure Java Lucene in Solr, provided the schema.xml jives with how the index is structured and is to be queried.
