Clarifying "fetchindex" command

[Otis Gospodnetic <ot...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Can one actually *force* replication of the index from the master without a 
commit being issued on the master since the last replication?

I do see "Force a fetchindex on slave from master command: 
http://slave_host:port/solr/replication?command=fetchindex" on 
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrReplication#HTTP_API, but that feels more like 
"force the replication *now* instead of waiting for the slave to poll the 
master" than "force the replication even if there is no new commit point and no 
new index version on the master".  Which one is it, really?

Thanks,
Otis

Looking at the code, issuing a fetchindex will cause the fetch to occur right away, with no respect for polling.
