Dynamic Configuration

[pgiesin <pg...@hubcitymedia.com>]

I have a client who is interested in using Solr/Lucene as their search
engine. So far I think it meets 85% of their requirements. I have decided to
integrate with JAMon tp provide statistical/performance analysis at
run-time. The piece I am still missing is dynamic configuration of the
indexing engine. Is it possible to problematically control such things as
what fields are indexed based on content type, weights, etc? The key
requirement is that these should be modifiable without restarting the
server. I thought I may be able to provide this through JMX but these
attributes seem to be read-only.

Solr multicore might be an option. It has reload/swap/... commands
to reload/switch SolrCore:

I don't think it is possible to change the behavior of the same field
during runtime (it is not even advisable). But you can always write
the data to a different field w/ the required attributes using an
UpdateProcessor or you can write a new UpdaterequestHandler
