The Lucene distribution includes a tool that upgrades an index from previous Lucene versions to the current file format.
The tool can be used from command line, or it can be instantiated and executed in Java.
In a Solr distribution, the Lucene files are located in ./server/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib. You will need to include the lucene-core-<version>.jar and lucene-backwards-codecs-<version>.jar on the classpath when running the tool.
java -cp lucene-core-6.0.0.jar:lucene-backward-codecs-6.0.0.jar org.apache.lucene.index.IndexUpgrader [-delete-prior-commits] [-verbose] /path/to/indexThis tool keeps only the last commit in an index. For this reason, if the incoming index has more than one commit, the tool refuses to run by default. Specify -delete-prior-commits to override this, allowing the tool to delete all but the last commit.
Upgrading large indexes may take a long time. As a rule of thumb, the upgrade processes about 1 GB per minute.

This tool may reorder documents if the index was partially upgraded before execution (e.g., documents were added). If your application relies on monotonicity of document IDs (which means that the order in which the documents were added to the index is preserved), do a full forceMerge instead. |
We welcome feedback on Solr documentation. However, we cannot provide application support via comments. If you need help, please send a message to the Solr User mailing list.
