solr 5.5.2 loadOnStartUp does not work

[elisabeth benoit <el...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have a core.properties with content

name=indexer
loadOnStartup=false


but the core is loaded on start up (it appears on the admin interface).

I thougth the core would be unloaded on startup. did I miss something?


best regards,

elisabeth

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, it seems a little tricky to me.

Best regards,
Elisabeth

"Load" is a little tricky here, it means "load the core and open a searcher.
The core _descriptor_ which is the internal structure of
core.properties (plus some other info) _is_ loaded and is what's
used to show the list of available cores. Else how would you
even know the core existed?

It's not until you actually try to do anything (even click on the
item in the "cores" drop-down) that the heavy-duty
work of opening the core actually executes.

So I think it's working as expected,. But do note
that this whole area (transient cores, loading on
startup true/false) is intended for stand-alone
Solr and is unsupported in SolrCloud.

Best,
Erick
