You haven't said what version of Solr you're using, but you're asking about replication, which is built-in. See: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrReplication
And no, your slave doesn't block while the update is happening, and it automatically switches to the updated index upon successful replication. Older versions of Solr used rsynch & etc. Best Erick On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 10:52 AM, Bing Li <lbl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, all, > > I am working on a distributed searching system.
