Which one works best?

[Peter McPeterson <gi...@hotmail.com>]

I'm not sure which solution works best: having multiple Solr instances 
running on the same server, each one for a different website OR having just 
one Solr instance running and having each one of the sites share the same 
"index"? They're different sites by the way.

Thanks.

if you've got completely independent data sets, and no need to ever
involve data from both sets in a single request, then i relaly can't think
of many compelling reasons to put both data sets in a single index.

you might also be interested in this thread on some tradeoffs of running
multiple solr instances in a single servlet container vs seperate servlet
containers on the same machine...
