Could I use Solr to index multiple applications?

["Zhang, Lisheng" <Li...@BroadVision.com>]

Hi,
 
We have an application where we index data into many different directories (each directory
is corresponding to a different lucene IndexSearcher).
 
Looking at Solr config it seems that Solr expects there is only one indexed data directory,
can we use Solr for our application?
 
Thanks very much for helps, Lisheng

My suggestion would be to look into Multi Tenancy http://www.elasticsearch.org/.
It is easy to setup and use for multiple indexes.

Yury and Shashi,

Thanks very much for helps! I am studying the options pointed
out by you (Solr multiple cores and Elasticsearch).

Best regards, Lisheng

You can add/create cores on the fly, without restarting.
See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin#CREATE

Thanks very much for quick help! Multicore sounds interesting,
I roughly read the doc, so we need to put each core name into
Solr config XML, if we add another core and change XML, do we
need to restart Solr?

Best regards, Lisheng

Look up multicore solr. Another choice could be ElasticSearch - which
is more straightforward in managing multiple indexes IMO.
