Hi, actually I am trying to use Collection Aliasing in a SolrCloud-environment.
My set up is as follows: 1. Collection_1 (alias "live") linked with config_1 2. Collection_2 (alias "test") linked with config_2 3. Collection_1 is different to Collection _2 4. config_1 is different to config_2 Case 1: Using http://hostname.de:8983/solr/Collection_2/select?indent=on&q=*:*&wt=xml&collection=test leads to the same results as http://hostname.de:8983/solr/Collection_2/select?indent=on&q=*:*&wt=xml which is correct. Case 2: Using http://hostname.de:8983/solr/Collection_1/select?indent=on&q=*:*&wt=xml&collection=live leads to the same result as http://hostname.de:8983/solr/Collection_1/select?indent=on&q=*:*&wt=xml which is correct, too. BUT Case 3: Using http://hostname.de:8983/solr/Collection_2/select?indent=on&q=*:*&wt=xml&collection=live leads NOT to the same result as http://hostname.de:8983/solr/Collection_1/select?indent=on&q=*:*&wt=xml&collection=live or http://hostname.de:8983/solr/Collection_1/select?indent=on&q=*:*&wt=xml It seems that using alias "live" in case 3 forces solr to search in Collection_1 (which is desired) but it uses config_2 of Collection_2 (which is not desired). MY AIM IS: Running one collection as productive and the other as test environment within a single SolrCloud. After setting up a new index (new schema, new solrconfig.xml) on the test collection I want to asign the test collection the alias "live" and the live collection the alias "test". How can I force solr to search in Collection_X with config_X? I hope that my description makes clear what my problem is. If not, don't hesitate to ask, I appreciate any help.
