I came across this link in an rss feed and thought this might be nice to roll in when using mercury with aegir.

Working on it
Thanks for posting the link to my blog post.
I am working on aegir integration at the moment. That blog post was the first half of the jigsaw. When I'm done it will be possible to use the core admin handler posted on my blog to provision solr cores when provisioning sites. Watch this space.
oooh cool! Ive been running
oooh cool!
Ive been running Aegir in my Mercury server for a while and enjoying solr (for one site) on the server, I couldn't get multi-cores to work on my test boxes. I am using tomcat as per the current Mercury specs, havnt tried Jetty like your article yet it will be interesting to try it out. Im excited to see what you do, the multi-core being provisioned by Aegir and providing a core for each site rocks!
Cheers!
RE: oooh cool! Ive been running
You should still be able to drop in the custom core admin handler attached to my blog with tomcat.
I have been distracted by client work for the last week or so, but I have some time later this week to try to finish my solr aegir integration work.
The only differences i found
The only differences i found for multicore solr mercury was tomcat6 puts solr in /var/solr - so you need to create the core directories in there:
/var/solr/solr.xml
/var/solr/core1/conf
/var/solr/core1/data <- solr will make this on first run
/var/solr/core2/conf
/var/solr/core2/data <- solr will make this on first run
the only other thing was changing the permissions to be owned by tomcat 6 - aside from that this was a stock lucid mercury aws image.
So by my reckoning Aegir and Mercury should now be working fully (once this little bit is automated)

Sweet
Yea I think I missed the permissions bit ... which I always do... :/
Im looking forward to testing this soon!
Cheers!
Jetty vs Tomcat?
I'm really looking forward to solr core provisioning in aegir! I don't do enough administration of solr for it to be second nature when I set up a new core.
As your blog post said, I've heard that Jetty consumes less resources and have also read that the developer community for Jetty is less fragmented and more active than the Tomcat community. As I'm not active in either community, it's all hearsay to me and I have no substantial proof.
Will we have a choice of Jetty or Tomcat?
Anyone want to wade in to tell me why one is better than the other?
Cheers,
Richard
