Hi Anuj, First solution that comes to my mind is using streaming expressions.
leftOuterJoin can do this: https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_6/stream-decorator-reference.html#leftouterjoin Example: leftOuterJoin( search(archive, q=”postings_id:123”, qt=”/select”, fl=”postings_id”, sort=”postings_id asc”) search(live, q=”postings_id:123”, qt=”/select”, fl=”postings_id”, sort=”postings_id asc”) on=”postings_id” ) If a document with postings_id:123 is found on live, it is used, otherwise document from archive collection is returned because documents from “right” (live) overwrites values onto “left” (archive). Add other required fields to fl parameter.

I have 2 cores '*live*' and '*archive*' with exactly the same fields. I want to query on a unique id - '*posting_id*'. First it should check *live* and if not found then in *archive* and show the results. The following is doing a search on *live* and not on *archive* http://xxx:8983/solr/live/select?q=*:*&fq=posting_id:41009261&indent=true&shards=archive The following gives an error - http://xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa:8983/solr/live/select?q=*:*&fq=posting_id:41009261&indent=true&shards=xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa:8983/solr/archive <response> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">401</int> <int name="QTime">10</int> <lst name="params"> <str name="q">*:*</str> <str name="shards">xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa:8983/solr/archive</str> <str name="indent">true</str> <str name="fq">posting_id:41009261</str> <str name="wt">xml</str> </lst> </lst> <lst name="error"> <lst name="metadata"> <str name="error-class">org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.BaseHttpSolrClient$RemoteSolrException</str> <str name="root-error-class">org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.BaseHttpSolrClient$RemoteSolrException</str> </lst> <str name="msg">Error from server at null: Expected mime type application/octet-stream but got text/html. <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/> <title>Error 401 Unauthorized</title> </head> <body><h2>HTTP ERROR 401 Unauthorized</h2> <table> <tr><th>URI:</th><td>/solr/archive/select</td></tr> <tr><th>STATUS:</th><td>401</td></tr> <tr><th>MESSAGE:</th><td>Unauthorized</td></tr> <tr><th>SERVLET:</th><td>default</td></tr> </table> </body> </html> </str> <int name="code">401</int> </lst> </response> How can I do a single query on 2 cores Have added the following in solr.in.sh - SOLR_OPTS="$SOLR_OPTS -Dsolr.disable.shardsWhitelist=true"
