CoreContainer Usage

[Amit Nithian <an...@gmail.com>]

I am trying to understand the multicore setup of Solr more and saw
that SolrCore.getCore is deprecated in favor of
CoreContainer.getCore(name). How can I get a reference to the
CoreContainer for I assume it's been created somewhere in Solr and is
it possible for one core to get access to another SolrCore via the
CoreContainer?

Thanks
Amit

Hi sorry perhaps my question wasn't very clear. Basically I am trying
to build a federated search where I blend the results of queries to
multiple cores together. This is like distributed search but I believe
the distributed search will issue network calls which I would like to
avoid.

I have read that someone will use a single core as the federated
search handler and then run the searches across multiple cores and
blend the results. This is great but I can't figure out how to easily
get access to an instance of the CoreContainer that I hope has been
initialized (so I am not having it re-parse the configuration files).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Amit
