Hello there.

I'm a newbie here. May i know what is the purpose of the Reindex core on Standalone solr. In this link. http://www.broadleafcommerce.com/docs/c ... tand-alone

Thanks inadvance ::)

This is so that users can still search/browse the site while a reindex takes place. Solr can have multiple cores and in this case 1 is the active core that searching is based off of. When a reindex kicks off, the reindex always occurs against a different core. Once the reindexing is done, then the cores are swapped and now user requests hit a new active, updated index.

@phillipuniverse Thanks for the response. Ah I see. So which one of the cores being populated first in the initial start? Primary or Reindex core?

And may i know what is the admin core server in the embedded and standalone solr? Is the admin core is same as the primary and reindex core ? But when i access the url of the admin core it is the dashboard for solr on standalone.

Thank you.

Primary.

The admin core isn't actually a core at all, that's kind of a misnomer. The admin URL is the base URL for where Solr is located. For instance, if you have a local standalone Solr instance then it deploys an application at the /solr context. So these are the 3 URLs you need:

@phillipuniverse - Ah ok Thank you very much. (Y)

Hello.

I'm a bit confused about the primary core. On the initial start the primary core is being populated but the dir or file on the solr is on the reindex core. It the primary is the always active on the store ?


Thank you I want to clarify it. please help me.

It's because the aliases are swapped as soon as the index is rebuilt. The index actually gets originally built on the reindex core and then there is a core swap. Solr's implementation of that is to just make the name point to the new directory.

thank you again phillip.
