Hello, I am learning more about replication as I maintain a large Solr 6 set of Solr servers configured for Master/Slave.
I noticed during some replication activities in addition to the original index dir under the core name on the file system is a dir named "index" with a timestamp. index.<timestamp>. Files are written to this dir with the timestamp during replication. I am interested in how this works: For every core replicating to it's master is this timestamped dir created? Or is this timestamped dir created/used for only special circumstances? If so, what? - Are there cases that cause a full replication within Solr 6? Is the original index dir removed and the time stamped dir renamed to "index" after replication? I initially figured all replication activities happened within the index dir, but that does not appear to be the case. Any tips, or documentation references would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt
