Automated Incremental Indexing in Solr


I'm working implementing Solr in an environment where we want Solr to reindex files in certain directories whenever they are changed (or added). At the moment, all I am aware of is a full reindex, which is undesirable for us. Does anyone know of a feature that provides this functionality?


Solution

  • Under Linux you can use inotifywait to watch a directory for changes (files added/modified/deleted). You can then use that event to trigger bin/post to send any updated files (and if you need, remove files that have been removed).
