The patch currently does not work . SOLR-828 is supposed to duplicate
this. But this is a huge change and a patch is still not ready ,so it
is pushed to 1.5.

You will have to shutdown your solr before you can do that.

Re: multicore

[Noble Paul നോബിള്‍ नोब्ळ्]

there are no limits . It must be Integer.MAX_VALUE

the limits are usually decided by the number of file handles the
system can open and the amount of RAM cpu you may have

Re: multicore

[revathy arun]

I am sorry ,but i did not get what you meant by  Integer.MAX_VALUE

Does the core take up more RAM  than the regular webapps?

that is if i were to have 3 webapps  ,would the requirement for ram be more
in this case or if i were to have 3 cores in a single webapp or would this
be the same?

solr 1.3 analyzers

[revathy arun]

HI ,

In the solr 1.3 under src/classes/java/analyzers

i see only the following  language specific tokenizer
chinestokenizer
cjktokenizer
russiantokenizer

but i see filterfactories for other languages like dutch ,french,barzialian
etc but no tokenizer
in this scenario are we supposed to use the standard tokenizer and the
corresponding language filters.Lucene has the analyzers for the same.how do
we incorporate the same to solr

Will this be available in future versions?

what is the difference netween normal filter factory and stem filter
factory?

Regards

make the suggested ignored field multi-valued?

[Peter Wolanin]

In the example schema.xml, there is a field type 'ignored' which it is
suggested can be used with the wildcard * to prevent errors when a
document contains fields that don't match any in the schema.   My
experience recently in using this is that it does not worked as
desired if the unmatched field is multiValued, and that that suggested
* field should be designated multiValued:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1022

Obviously this has no effect out of the box, since the field is commented out.

utf 8 issue

[revathy arun]

Hi ,

I am trying to index various langauge documents (foroyo,chinese,japanese)
.These have been converted from pdf to text using xpdf
I am using the standard anlyzer for content analysis ,but i am not able to
search anything from some of the files.

My guess is that these documents are not in utf-8 encoding and hence solr
does not return result.


Is there any way to check the encoding of a text/pdf document or convert
them to utf -8 encoding?

while indexing i am sending the header for charset as utf-8 .

Any pointers?

Thanks

If you are using pdftotext you could set the enc parameter:

pdftotext -enc UTF-8 filename

How can you convert PDFs to text via xpdf programmatically?

Please provide us an example of how you are indexing... what requests  
are you sending to Solr?  What client API are you using to interface  
with Solr?


What container are you using?  Jetty?  Tomcat?

Certainly whatever reads in the text from your data source needs to  
know the encoding and use it appropriately.

I would imagine the conversion could be made to go to UTF8

If you're using Tomcat, you'll need to set the URIEncoding, as  
described here:

Yes. Exactly the same as what Lucene Analyzers do.

One can also specify an existing Lucene Analyzer class that has a 
default constructor via the class attribute on the analyzer element

TokenFilters can delete (StopFilter), inject (SynonymFilter), 
modify(StemFilter) a token according to its purpose. There is no distinction 
such as normal filter factory and stem filter factory.


  

Re: making changes to solr schema after deployed to production

[Grant Ingersoll]

It really depends on the change.  Typically, adding fields is fine,  
but of course, it means that you will only be able to search those  
fields in the new documents.  Other changes often require re- 
indexing.  Change the semantics of a field (i.e. changing FieldType)  
will require re-indexing.  Think of it like compiling a program.  If  
you change a variable from an int to a float, you will need to  
recompile.

semicolon causing Missing sort order exception

[AHMET ARSLAN]

Today I found something very interesting. When i search a word (solr; lucene) 
ending with a semicolon plus any character (from solr admin page), solr gives 
an exception (HTTP Status 400 - Missing sort order).
When I escaped semicolon (solr\;lucene) exception gone.

I checked Lucene Special Characters that are part of the query syntax. 
Semicolon (;) is not in the list.

I wanted to share this with you.


  

foreign characters equivalent in solr search

[radarghost]

we are using solr 1.2 and dont want to upgrade to 1.3 till official release
for Debian.
i want solr to search for equivalent of a foreign chracter for getting
better results

in example:

if a user searches for Tiesto which is indexed in this format Tiësto in our
solr. we want solr also return result
return search result for á, à, â, ä, ã, å where they are in word but that
word has been searched with normal a
e for ë, i for ï, o for ö, and so on

any solution?

hope i could tell what i need with my poor English

 How can I do that ?

 Even I would love to make something like if after :
 if nb_views between 0 and 50 then nb_views^1.3  if nb_views>100   
 then
 nb_views^2

 Do you have an idea ? What would you reckon ?

Re: semicolon causing Missing sort order exception

[Erik Hatcher]

semicolon is legacy syntax in Solr only for specifying a sort.  It is  
not part of the actual query parser syntax, but rather parsed  
separately.


What version of Solr are you using?  The semicolon sort support in the  
query string is supposed to be deprecated/removed, I believe, in the  
default query parser but looks like it still is checked under certain  
conditions.

IndexMergeTool produces empty index

[Stuart Sierra]

Hello,

I use Solr 1.3 to build two separate indexes.  Then I shut down Solr.
The indexes generated by Solr look ok.  I can read them with a Lucene
IndexSearcher, and even open up the index files and see the text of my
documents.

Next I run IndexMergeTool from Lucene 2.4, following the instructions at


After I run IndexMergeTool, the "merged" index is empty.  The
directory is created, it has a segments file like a normal Lucene
index, the index just doesn't have any documents in it.

Any suggestions?

Are you sure you're using the Lucene JARs (both core and misc) that

Re: IndexMergeTool produces empty index

I'm using lucene-core-2.4-dev.jar from the Solr 1.3.0 distribution.
Solr doesn't include lucene-misc, so I used lucene-misc-2.4.jar from

But I had the exact same problem when I wrote my own index merge tool
using just the Solr distribution jars.

Re: Query regarding setTimeAllowed(Integer) and setRows(Integer)

[Walter Underwood]

Solr and Lucene are very efficient at basic ranking and retrieval.
Sorting and faceted search take more CPU.

Most of your speed improvement will come from caching, so set
aside some time for cache tuning. You need real query logs for
that.

But this is not equilibrate between this boost in qf and bf, how can I do ?

As Erik points out, it's the legacy sort syntax.
set defType to "lucene" as a default parameter to fix that.

Re: boost qf weight between 0 and 10

[sunnyfr]

Obviously it should be qb and not bf  it looks better.
Is there everything in the wiki because I read it but I'm still a bit
confused about it.

Re: foreign characters equivalent in solr search

[AHMET ARSLAN]

I think best way to do this is to modify 
org.apache.lucene.index.memory.SynonymTokenFilter and employ this filter index 
time.

if token.termBuffer() has one those (á, à, â, ä, ã, å) characters you will 
replace it with its equvalent ascii character (a). Then you will inject this 
new Token as a Synonym.

I don't know is it the best way but it will give you what you want.

Solr training at ApacheCon Europe

[Erik Hatcher]

Dear Solr Users -

I am offering a one day Solr training (titled Solr Boot Camp) at  
ApacheCon Europe on March 24.  The  class is designed to cover Solr  
from start to finish - installing, indexing your content numerous ways  
(XML, CSV, database, client API, DataImportHandler, etc), how to use  
the key bells and whistles including spell checking, highlighting,  
faceting, and all the way up to what it takes to build an end  
application on your platform.  I include examples for working with  
Solr in various environments, from JSON to XML, to Java, to PHP, to  
Ruby (on Rails).


Also, if you come to the training, stay for the conference, as there  
will be several talks on the Lucene ecosystem:   See http://lucene.apache.org/#09+February+2009+-+Lucene+at+ApacheCon+Europe+2009+in+Amsterdam 
   The ApacheCon conference is the official conference of the Apache  
Software Foundation and is a great place to learn and interact with  
the developers of your favorite Apache projects.


If you have questions or aren't sure if the course is appropriate for  
you, you can email me offlist.

bq type_:true for two types doesn't come up books.

[sunnyfr]

Hi,

I don't get: I added a bq boost,
the point is i've some book which are normal, some which are type_roman or
type_comedy and other type
but I would like to boost both of this type for every books indexed.

So if I do :
&bq=type_roman:true^1,5+type_comedy:true^1,5
no video come up 
but if I do :
&bq=type_roman:true^1,5+type_comedy:false^1,5 or just one type videos come
up.

I would like to boost if one or the other one is selected but it's clear
that a book can't have both type.

How can I manage this ? 

Thanks a lot,

i'll try to attend and persuade my boss to pay the bill!

Snowball and protected words

[Leonardo Dias]

Hi there!

Is there a way to make the snowball algorithm work with a protwords.txt 
file?


EnglishPorter works fine. It would be great if the snowball algorithm 
could do the same to avoid searches with irrelevant results.


Best,

Leonardo

Currently, and unfortunately, no - the protected words feature is not  
available the SnowballPorterFilterFactory.It wouldn't take much  
effort to bring that capability across though.

Re: Snowball and protected words

[Walter Underwood]

You can define exceptions in the Snowball language and generate
a new stemmer. See the examples here:

this is how its indexed

$header[] = "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8";
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
  curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header );
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

Good strategy for news in Solr?

[Jon Baer]

Ive spent a few months trying different techniques w/ regards to  
searching just news articles w/ players and can't seem to find the  
perfect setup.


Normally I take into consideration date (frequency + recently  
published), title (which boosts on relevancy) and general mm in body  
text (and score)


Sometimes its more of a preference on how to drill into news (own  
being most recently published) vs. historical where it can be more  
context based ...


Is anyone else toying w/ different setups for searching news in general?

This mailing list is a treasure trove of great stuff.  And it is quite  
searchable at a number of services, including MarkMail, Nabble, and so  
on: 


Nabble provides a forum-like interface to mailing lists.

For the best (IMNSHO) search for this list (and the Solr wiki, most  
importantly here, among other sources): 


And if you want to see the latest mails for this list (latest on top):
  

We've got notifications and syndication on our short term TODO list  
already.  Any other features you'd like to see in our search system,  
please let me know and we'll almost certainly add as we can.  Adding  
the ability to send mails back through a web forum, though, is  
something I'm not too keen on adding - it opens the door to lots of  
complexities and it'd need to be a strongly requested feature to be  
considered.

At the risk of sounding "me too"... me too!

Email is something I already use throughout the day - it's easy to pop  
over into the folder I send all the solr-user mail to and quickly scan  
the subject lines.


Nabble is great for searching though.. I only have 12,126 of the solr- 
user messages archived locally so far..


Thanks for your time!

Re: foreign characters equivalent in solr search

CharFilter will solve the problem, but it comes with Solr 1.4.

I think best way to do this is to modify

if token.termBuffer() has one those (á, à, â, ä, ã, å) characters you will 
replace it with its equvalent ascii character (a). Then you will inject this 
new Token as a Synonym.

I don't know is it the best way but it will give you what you want.

i want solr to search for equivalent of a foreign chracter

in example:

if a user searches for Tiesto which is indexed in this

return search result for á, à, â, ä, ã, å where they

any solution?

LocalSolr distributed search

[Rajiv2]

Hello, 

I'm currently using LocalSolr in my project and coming across some
issues with making the LocalSolrQueryComponent work w/ distributed search.
I'm using version LocalSolr 2.0 and Solr 1.3. Can someone point me in the
right direction on how to modify this component to work with Distributed
Search - there seems to be very little documentation on the local solr
website.

Thanks,
Rajiv

I, for one, do not understand the motivation for a forum.

1. For people who prefer fora, nabble/markmail/etc. provide a forum- 
like view to the discussion.  Posts can be permanently linked to using  
these sites.
2. Many people greatly prefer the mailing list format (obviously, it  
takes a little bit of effort to use mailinglists effectively (e.g.,  
directing the traffic to a folder/tag/etc.)
3. There isn't enough traffic to justify splitting the list into sub- 
lists (or sub-fora)


Fora have the same problems as do mailinglists in terms of people  
asking the same questions.

RE: why don't we have a forum for discussion?

[Smiley, David W.]

I definitely agree with the sentiments of other that Nable et. al replace the 
need for a separate forum given that we have an active mailing list already.

Martin, you claimed a forum would meet the need of people asking questions over 
and over.  In my opinion, neither email nor forums are ideal for solving that.  
A wiki on the other hand, is.  And Solr has a wiki and I refer to it often.  I 
certainly use Nabble's search too.

Re: why don't we have a forum for discussion?

[Chris Hostetter]

: I am just curious why we don't have a forum for discussion or you guys think
: it's really necessary to receive lots of crap information about Solr and
: nutch in email? I can offer you a forum for discussion anyway.

leaving out my personal opinions on SMTP based mailing lists vs HTTP based 
forums, there are some practical issues to consider...

1) it is possible to have a web based front end for 
reading/searching/posting to mailing lists (nabble.com demonstrates this 
quite well).  it is much harder to have a mailing list based front end for 
a web based forum.  so as long as there are people still using email, it 
makes the most sense for email to be the "core" system, and people that 
want a web based forum to use a web based forum UI that proxies to the 
mailing list.

2) There is nothing preventing people who want to start alternate online 
forums for discussing Solr from doing so.  (I recently learned there is 
even a #solr IRC channel that gets moderate use by some members of hte 
community).

3) apache projects are required to have mailing lists.  this is the
"official" method of coordinating development, and where all binding votes 
must take place.  So even if 100% of the Solr community switched to 
using some web based forum software, the mailing list(s) would still need 
to exist.

4) the comments made so far seem to indicate three classes of reasons why 
people are suggesting a forum instead of a mailing list...

4a) inboxes too full -- this is why email apps support filtering

4b) searching the archives -- i'm not sure what to say about this, the 
mailing list archives are pretty easily searchable right now on dozens of 
sites.

4c) browser based posting -- see nabble.com

4d) setting alerts for specific keywords -- this is the other reason why 
email apps support filtering.
 
4e) linkability of past posts -- almost every web based archive of hte 
mailing list supports permalinks for threads.

4f) better sub-classification of posts.  This is really an orthoginal 
issue of if/when it makes sense to created
sub-specialized community discussion channels.  we could have micro-topic 
based email lists (ie: solr-user-multic...@lucene) just as easily as you 
can have micro-topic based forums -- the question is: does that improve 
the community.  This is one of the great holy wars of online community 
forums, dating back to early NNTP newsgroups: when does it make sense to 
create sub-groups.  Considering the current number of posts per/day and 
the subscriber counts, i personally don't think we're anywhere close to 
worrying about splitting up solr-user into smaller community chunks.  
Among other things: it makes it very hard for new community members to 
understand where to start, many conversations can easily evolve to 
encompase multiple "topics", etc...).  For now, i would suggest that 
people only interested in certain topics take advantage of filters in 
their email clients to help "flag" posts they might be interested in -- 
but that's going to be just as error prone as if a new user tried to 
decide whether solr-user-multicore or solr-user-scalability is the right 
place to ask their question about scaling on multicore CPU machines.

moving the e-mail off to some other folder, it just all goes to one

Perhaps that means I need a better phone, it's just the obvious

I lurk in #solr and #lucene (among others) when I'm online working at

Re: why don't we have a forum for discussion?

[Peter Wolanin]

If some stuff is asked over and over again, it would be great to grab
some reasonable responses and add them to the wiki.

I've edited it a few times when I've struggled with what's there and
found something that wasn't covered or was out of date - even the best
forum or mailing list will not replicate an organized and maintained
doc site in terms of ready access to knowledge.

Even in my case, we cant make it flattern, Bcoz we are managing total image
gallery information in Solr, So image gallery contains aroung 20 images also
with image descrption, thumbnail info, width, height, etc also we want to
store/update the stats along with image gallery,

If we flatten the xml, for every visit to the image gallery i need to update
the whole lengh record again into Solr, we have around 30lacs image gallery
also per day around 50K imagegallery stats supposed to update,

So we are thinking of spliting of Image gallery And (Stats, comments) as
separate xml..

1) if any body used parallel Reader (lucene) let me know how this will be
usefull for us,
2) If any body used multicore let me know how this will be useful for us.
3) Is "MultipleIndexes" will be useful or not?
