Chris, sorry for not being clear when I asked the question. We are still experimenting with Solr. We have 2 tables in Postgres that we want to migrate to Solr for faster query results. One index is of static data and the other related index would be of data that changes once or twice a month. Some are proposing a single (flat) index in Solr for both these tables. Others are suggesting 2 separate indexes on 2 different machines and using SOLRs capacity to combine cores and generate a third index that denormalizes the tables for us.
Query on a flat index is extremely fast and we wanted to compare the results with separate indexes.
