I am in the middle of configuring Alfresco 4.2.c (we will upgrade this to 4.2.x EE after testing the community edition). We need to configure alfresco and solr on different tomcat server (servers are different physically). I have the following questions regarding solr:
1. Is it require to share the content store with solr server? If not, how are the actual binary contents indexed if we need to enable binary content indexing?
2. Do we need to share /opt/alfresco-4.2.1/alf_data/solr
<Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="/opt/alfresco-4.2.1/alf_data/solr" override="true"/> specified in /tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/solr.xml with the alfresco server?
