Hey Otis, We're indexing on a separate machine because we want to keep our production nodes away from processes like indexing. The indexing server also has a ton of resources available, more so than the production nodes. We set it up as an indexing server at one point and have decided to stick with it.
We're not indexing the same index as the search indexes because we want to be able to step back a day or two if needed. So we do the SWAP when things are done and OK. So that last part you mentioned about the searchers needing to re-open will happen with a SWAP right? Is your concern that there will be a lag time, making it so the slaves will be out of sync for some small period of time? Would it be simpler/better to move to using Solrs native slave/master feature? I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have.
