I built a web service A which use Solr as its text search engine. There are on separate two machines.
Now I’m building a new service B. But because B is relatively small service, I don’t want to build a its own Solr. Is there a way to have A and B share a Solr server, without messing their indexes up?
BTW they are both Rails services so I use Sunspot as an interface. I’m not sure whether it matters.
Yes, you can create 2 Solr cores – http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin
