It is a little bit different from <optimize > since this server is only supposed to read the data and not add create segments . But we want to suspend it as an initial test case for one of our load balancers. (Restarting Solr is an option though we want to get to that as a last resort ).
For a particular application of ours - we need to suspend the Solr
server from doing any query operation ( IndexReader-s) for sometime, and
then after sometime in the near future ( in minutes ) - reinitialize /
warm IndexReaders once again and get moving.
