Parallel index structure / moving indexes between hosts?

[kr428]

Hi there; I need to move my CouchDB / couchdb-lucene installation to new infrastructure. CouchDB seems trivial here but I am unsure about couchdb-lucene; index structures so far are rather big and I don't want them to be rebuilt as this will take way too long. Is there a good way to move index over to another machine? Simply copying the whole folder and restarting couchdb-lucene didn't work, it seems it still "just" created a new empty index and restarted indexing the whole structure... Anything worth noting about this?
TIA and all the best,
Kristian

hi, sorry for slow reply. The path names are calculated from the relevant contents of the design document, so you should be able to just copy the entire directory tree. Did you get permissions right etc?
