solr delete core index files

[Johannes Goll <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

to delete a solr core index, I do
(1) curl "host/solr/admin/cores?action=UNLOAD&core=FOO"
(2) rm -rf /abs_path_to_foo/FOO

Is there a way to avoid step 2 and tell the solr server directly to
delete the index files
upon UNLOAD ?

Thanks,
Johannes

Two things:

1> you can create a delete query matching all your documents like the query
"*:*"

2> This kind of question is better suited to the solr user list, this list
is devoted to internal SOLR development...
