Hi, When index data were corrupted on master instance, I wanted to wipe out all the index data and re-index everything. I was hoping the newly created index data would be replicated to slaves, but it wasn't.
Here are the steps I performed: 1. stop master 2. delete the directory 'index' 3. start master 4. disable replication on master 5. index all data from scratch 6. enable replication on master It seemed from log file that the slave instances discovered that new index are available and claimed that new index installed, and then trying to update index properties, but looking into the index directory on slaves, you will find that no index data files were updated or added, plus slaves keep trying to get new index. Here are some from slave's log file: Jul 1, 2009 3:59:33 PM org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller fetchLatestIndex INFO: Starting replication process Jul 1, 2009 3:59:33 PM org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller fetchLatestIndex INFO: Number of files in latest snapshot in master: 69 Jul 1, 2009 3:59:33 PM org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller fetchLatestIndex INFO: Total time taken for download : 0 secs Jul 1, 2009 3:59:33 PM org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller fetchLatestIndex INFO: Conf files are not downloaded or are in sync Jul 1, 2009 3:59:33 PM org.apache.solr.handler.SnapPuller modifyIndexProps INFO: New index installed.

Updating index properties... Is this process incorrect, or it is a bug? If the process is incorrect, what is the right process? Thanks, J
