calling other core from request handler

[Kevin Osborn <os...@yahoo.com>]

I have a multi-core environment and a custom request handler. However, I have 
one place where I would like to have my request handler on coreA query to coreB. 
This is not distributed search. This is just an independent query to get some 
additional data.

I am also guaranteed that each server will have the same core set. I am also 
guaranteed that I will not be reloading cores (just indexes).

It looks I can 
call coreA.getCoreDescriptor().getCoreContainer().getCore("coreB"); and then get 
the Searcher and release it when I am done.

Is there a better way?

And it also appears that during the inform or init methods of my requestHandler, 
coreB is NOT guaranteed to already exist?

not really ... not unless you want to do it via HTTP to "localhost"

correct ... your RequestHandler shouldn't make any assumptions about the 
order that core's are initialized in.
