Is it possible to manage backups from SolrJ?

I can create / restore Solr backups from Solr via CollectionAdminRequest.Backup and CollectionAdminRequest.Restore.

Looks like it's possible via http api, e.g.: 

http://localhost:8983/solr/gettingstarted/replication?command=details&wt=xml

But is it possible to list all backups and drop one by name from SolrJ?

I'm using Solr 7.5.

Solution

  • From what I found, it's not possible to do it from SolrJ directly.

    So I've ended up working with HDFS directly. I've configured Solr to use HDFS as backup storage. And from my code I'm accessing it via HDFS client - I can list and remove backups from it.
