Hi Daniel,

Yes there is a one-to-one relationship between Solr indices and cores. =
The one to many comes when you look at the relationship between cores =
and tomcat/jetty webapps instances. This gives you the ability to clone, =
add and swap cores around.

See for for core manipulation functions:

Regards,


Dave
