Update a core with previous version without restart server

Backgournd: we have two core2 in one solr instance, now we are going to rollback core2 to previous version.

 

 

SOLUTION 1 : Reload - core2 will not have any down time

 

1. Remove 'segments**' file from core2 index folder

 

2. Copy previous snapshot to core2 index folder

 

3. Reload Core2 (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin)

 

http://localhost:8080/solr/admin/cores?action=ReLOAD&core=core2

 

 

 

SOLUTION 2 : Unload + Create -core2 will have down time

 

1. Before update core2

 

Solr.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<solr sharedLib="lib" persistent="true">
  <cores adminPath="/admin/cores" defaultCoreName="core1">
    <core name="core1" instanceDir="./core1/"/>
    <core name="core2" instanceDir="./core2/"/>
  </cores>
</solr>

 

2. Unload core2

 

http://localhost:8080/solr/admin/cores?action=UNLOAD&core=core2

 

Solr.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<solr sharedLib="lib" persistent="true">
  <cores adminPath="/admin/cores" defaultCoreName="core1">
    <core name="core1" instanceDir="./core1/"/>
  </cores>
</solr>

 

3. Update core2 (e.g:remove existing index and replace with previous version index)

 

4. Re-create core2 on new index

 

http://localhost:8080/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=core2&instanceDir=./core2/

 

Solr.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<solr sharedLib="lib" persistent="true">
  <cores adminPath="/admin/cores" defaultCoreName="core1">
    <core name="core1" instanceDir="./core1/"/>
    <core name="core2" instanceDir="./core2/"/>
  </cores>
</solr>
