Drupal multisite installation, multicore apache solr and apache solr multisite search

Posted by aleada on June 26, 2012 at 9:31am

Hi all,
I am new in apache solr technology and drupal integration.
I wan't to ask if is it possible to create the following configuration

Base site ( multisite search including results from site1 and site2 separate indexes )
www.example.com  

subdomain  site1 ( multi site installation with diff db + apache solr core1 index)
site1.example.com

subdomain  site2 ( multi site installation with diff db + apache solr core2 index)
site2.example.com

As i know the main concept for multisite search is the following configuration

Base site ( multisite search including results from a common site1 and site2 index )
www.example.com  

subdomain  site1 ( multi site installation with diff db + apache solr common core index)
site1.example.com


subdomain  site2 ( multi site installation with diff db + apache solr common core index)
site2.example.com

Thanks

It's basically the same

It's basically the same setup, but in your subsites you need to do a little filter so only results from that specific site (read: faceted on hash).

I'm writing the code by heart so it could be that the function calls are not exactly correct.

//custom code for subsite 1, similar for subsite 2
hook_apachesolr_query_alter($query) {
  $query->addParam('hash', apachesolr_site_hash());
}

So, you do need to index in the same solr core/index but when searching you narrow your results to query on a subset of that index
