SOLR 4 master replication to SOLR 5 slave

Is there any chance create master SOLR4 replication to SOLR5 slave, and after replication change slave SOLR5 to master? Or what is the best way to migrate from SOLR 4 to SOLR 5 with convertation all indexes?

Unfortunately I don't think such feature exists (at least I'm not aware about that). A master with version X doesn't know at all the format of a later version X+Y.

Even after reading some documentation the only thing I find is this [1], but as you can read, there's nothing that helps you.

So, while I think you have to re-index your corpus (with Solr 5), in the meantime you could try to

  • index data in Solr 4 (Master)
  • replicate those data in Solr 5 (Slave) with a LUCENE_VERSION 4.x set in solrconfig.xml

I never tried that, but [1] says Solr 5 doesn't have retro-compatibility with 3.x, so 4.x, which is your case, should be OK. The drawback here, is that your index (on Solr 5) will be still in 4.x format.

The migration from Solr4 to Solr5 is documented in the Solr wiki.
