Hi, I am a newbie to SOLR. I have setup Master Slave configuration with SOLR 4.0. I am trying to identify what is the best way to backup an old core and delete the same so as to free up space from the disk.
I did get the information on how to unload a core and delete the indexes from the core. Unloading - http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=UNLOAD&core=core0 Delete Indexes - http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=UNLOAD&core=core0&deleteIndex=true What is the best approach to remove the old core ? * Approach 1 o Unload the core in both Master and Slave server AND delete the index only from Master server (retain the indexes in slave server as a backup). If I am retaining the indexes in Slave server, at later point is there a way to bring those to Master Server ? * Approach 2 o Unload and delete the indexes from both Master and Slave server. Before deleting, take a backup of the data dir of old core from File system. I am not sure if this is even possible ? Is there any other way better way of doing this ? Please let me know Thanks Sangeetha
