 +==== 4Other Topics? ====
  
-==== 4Other Topics? ====+There was some brief discussion of replication misbehavior experienced by Anna. Demian suggested that perhaps a Solr upgrade is in order soon, though there are some SolrMarc-related limitations there that need to be investigated. He will see if he can find time to investigate further. 
 + 
 +Anna also mentioned the need for better error reporting in SolrMarc when indexing over HTTP.
  
-None this week.+Chris asked about indexing speed over HTTP vs. direct writing; Demian pointed out that HTTP is slower but this can be compensated for by running simultaneous index jobs (he usually indexes two at once when doing a full reindex).
  
 +Chris also asked about indexing of MFHD (holdings) records. Demian explained that his Voyager export has bibs + holdings, and he uses the SolrMarc record merging functionality to import the holdings into the bibs (as documented [[indexing:marc:export_notes#exlibris_voyager|here]]).
