Load cores without restarting/reloading Solr
Hi
We have a few cores set up for separate sites and one of these is in use
constantly. When I add a new core I can currently copying one of the other
cores and renaming it, changing the conf etc and then reloading Solr via the
tomcat manager. However, if something goes wrong then the other cores stop
working until I have resolved the problem.
My questions are:
1) Is using a separate core for different sites the correct method?
2) Is there a way of creating a core and starting it without having to
reload Solr or restart tomcat?
3) I've looked at the Solr Cores CREATE handler but from what I gather, I
need to create the core folder and edit the solr.xml first before loading
the core with action=CREATE. Is that correct?
Regards
Andrew

Can some one please answer this.
Is there a way of creating/adding a core and starting it without having to
reload Solr ?

Hi Peter
We are using the packaged Ubuntu Server (10.04 LTS) versions of Tomcat6 and
Solr1.4 and running a single instance of Solr with multiple cores.

Hi Andrew,
the whole tomcat shouldn't fail on restart if only one core fails.
We are using the setup described here:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat
With the help of several different Tomcat Context xml files (under
conf/Catalina/localhost/) the cores should be independent webapps:
A different data directory (+config) and even a different solr version
is possible.
Or are you using the same setup?
Regards,
Peter.

Hi
Sorry, it wasn't very clear was it? [?]
Yes, I use a 'template' core that isn't used and create a copy of this on
the command line. I then edit the newcore/conf/solrconfig.xml and set the
data path, add data-import sections etc and then I edit the
solr.home/solr.xml and add the core name & directory to that. I then go to
the Tomcat manager/html and reload Solr.
The problem I get is that if I have broken something in the new core Solr
(correctly) doesn't reload and the other cores aren't then working.
I don't need replication just yet but I will be looking into that
eventually.
Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I didn't correctly understand what you are trying to do with 'copying'?
Just use one core as a template or use it to replicate data?
You can reload only one application via:
http://localhost/manager/html/reload?path=/yourapp
(if you do this often you need to increase the PermGen space)
You can replicate a core:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrReplication

Peter.
