la-indexes-comparer

la-indexes-comparer is a tool to compare Solr indexes/collections from Living Atlases portals. It support core and collections from solr and solrcloud, and pipelines and biocache-store indexes.

This is useful to compare different created indexes and see differences to take actions, (like to switch to use a new index).

Usage

la_indexes_comparer -a https://your-solr-index-a -b https://your-solr-index-b -1 core-or-collection-a -2 core-or-collection-b -c https://collectory.l-a.site -l "cl2,cl3,cl6"
# or using dart
dart run bin/la_indexes_comparer.dart -a https://your-solr-index-a -b https://your-solr-index-b -1 core-or-collection-a -2 core-or-collection-b -c https://collectory.l-a.site -l "cl2,cl3,cl6"
