specify index location
hi everyone, my first post on this mailing list. let me just shout a big
thanks to everyone involved in this wonderful project. only working with
solr & lucene for a little while, and am already getting happy with the
results:)
the question is - is it possible to tell a solr instance the location of its
index (to set it to something else than <[solrhome]/data/index>?)
one of my indexes is fairly huge and i wouldn't like to copy it to my
machine from the server every time i reindex. the server solr instance needs
to run constantly since other parts of our system-in-work are using it (so
it's not suitable for developing on). the index i test my handlers with and
the server one must be identical for general comparibility.
i can map a server location as a local path.
thank you for your replies.
david p.

Snapshots are in that directory, and the spellchecker has its own
indexes under there.

./data is the generic solr data directory "index" stores the main index
under the data directory.

Thanks Grant. Solrconfig.xml was the first place I looked into, but somehow
missed it *scratches head*...
Just a remark:
<!-- Used to specify an alternate directory to hold all index data
other than the default ./data under the Solr home.
If replication is in use, this should match the replication
configuration. -->
Might be a good idea to change this to ./data/index to reflect the location
that is expected in there.

Have a look at the solrconfig.xml file (explained at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrConfigXml)
and the dataDir setting. You can, also, move your Solr home and you
could also try a symbolic link.
Cheers,
Grant
