Description

From http://markmail.org/thread/vpk2fsjns7u2uopd

Here is a use case:

• Index is mostly static (nightly updates)
• elevate.xml needs to be changed throughout the day
• elevate.xml needs to be pushed to slaves and solr needs to reload it

This is currently not possible because replication will happen only if the index
changed in some way. You can't force a commit to fake index change. So one has
to either:

• add/delete dummy docs on master to force index change
• write an external script that copies the config file to slaves
