Every modern operating system (and most of the previous versions of every modern OS) has a built-in task scheduling system. For Windows, it's literally called Task Scheduler. For most other operating systems, it's called cron. Including dataimport scheduling capability in Solr has been discussed, and I think someone even wrote a working version ... but since every OS already has scheduling capability that has had years of time to mature, why should Solr reinvent the wheel and take the risk that the implementation will have bugs? Currently virtually all updates to Solr's index must be initiated outside of Solr, and there is good reason to make sure that Solr doesn't ever modify the index without outside input. The only thing I know of right now that can update the index automatically is Document Expiration, but the expiration time is decided when the document is indexed, and the original indexing action is external to Solr. https://lucidworks.com/blog/document-expiration/ Thanks, Shawn
