Hi Erik,
Thanks for your response !
On Page 180 of Lucene In action, there is a reference
for searching multiple indexes remotely using RMI. I
am still trying to figure out how that works and if
that would fit in our scenario. We have multiple
client machines running a web server where the indexes
will reside. Can the server running solr query these
indexes remotely over http ?
Regards,
Raghav
