: A quick question - is it possible to have 2 cores in Solr on two different : machines?
your question is a little vague ... like asking "is it possible to have to have two betamax VCRs in two different rooms of my house" ... sure, if you want ... but why are you asking the question? are you expecting those VCRs to be doing something special that makes you wonder if that special thing will work when there are two of them? https://people.apache.org/~hossman/#xyproblem XY Problem Your question appears to be an "XY Problem" ... that is: you are dealing with "X", you are assuming "Y" will help you, and you are asking about "Y" without giving more details about the "X" so that we can understand the full issue. Perhaps the best solution doesn't involve "Y" at all? See Also: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=542341 -Hoss
