I'm using Liferay 7.2.1 CE, I'm upgrading from 7.0.4 version. I'm using SOLR 7 search engine with the specific connector, and it works. If I try to reindex by using the control panel I have strange behaviors: I have only documents in document library and journal articles, if I reindex journal articles after documents I loose previous indexed documents and viceversa. Thereafter reindex all doesn't work. Do I need to configure, control, do anything to have an incremental indexing? Thanks

Hi Alex Wom,
Are you executing a full reindex or are you executing partial reindexes for each area?
Just a full reindex should be enough and everything should work fine.
If you need help to diagnose indexation issues you can try using my tool "Index Checker" that tool will help you finding wrong entries and you will be also able to reindex them,  see:
One last thing: Since 7.0 version, SOLR has a minority usage, most of Liferay installations use Elasticsearch, so you will always find less problems using Elasticsearch than instead of SOLR as it is more widely adopted and more tested.
