Solr 3.3. Grouping vs DeDuplication and Deduplication Use Case
Solr 3.3. has a feature "Grouping". Is it practically same as deduplication? Here is my use case for duplicates removal - We have many documents with similar (upto 99%) content. Upon some search queries, almost all of them come up on first page results. Of all these documents, essentially one is original and the other are duplicates. We are able to find the original content on a basis of number of factors - who uploaded it, when, how many viral shares.It is also possible that the duplicates are uploaded earlier (and hence exist in search index) while the original is uploaded later (and gets added later to index). AFAIK, Deduplication targets index time. Is there a means I can specify the original which should be returned and the duplicates which could be removed from coming up.? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>
How To Implement Sweet Spot Similarity?
I was wondering if there is *any* article on the web that provides me with implementation details and some sort of analysis on Sweet Spot Similarity? Google shows me all the JIRA commits and comments but no article about actual implementation. What are the various configs that could be done. What are the good approaches for figuring out sweet spots? Can a combination of multiple Similarity Classes be used? Any information would be so appreciated. *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>
java.io.CharConversionException While Indexing in Solr 3.4
Hi List, I tried Solr 3.4.0 today and while indexing I got the error java.lang.RuntimeException: [was class java.io.CharConversionException] Invalid UTF-8 middle byte 0x73 (at char #66611, byte #65289) My earlier version was Solr 1.4 and this same document went into index successfully. Looking around, I see issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2381 which seems to fix the issue. I thought this patch is already applied to Solr 3.4.0. Is there something I am missing? Is there anything else I need to mention? Logs/ My document details etc.? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>

Re: java.io.CharConversionException While Indexing in Solr 3.4
I managed to resolve this issue. Turns out that the issue was because of a faulty XML file being generated by ruby-solr gem. I had to install libxml-ruby, rsolr and I used rsolr gem instead of ruby-solr. Also, if you face this kind of issue, the test-utf8.sh file included in exampledocs is a good file to test Solr's behavior towards UTF-8 chars. Great wok Solr team, and special thanks to Erik Hatcher. *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny> On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 15:54, Pranav Prakash wrote: > > Just in case, someone might be intrested here is the log > > SEVERE: java.lang.RuntimeException: [was class > java.io.CharConversionException] Invalid UTF-8 middle byte 0x73 (at char > #66641, byte #65289) > at > com.ctc.wstx.util.ExceptionUtil.throwRuntimeException(ExceptionUtil.java:18) > at com.ctc.wstx.sr.StreamScanner.throwLazyError(StreamScanner.java:731) > at > com.ctc.wstx.sr.BasicStreamReader.safeFinishToken(BasicStreamReader.java:3657) > at com.ctc.wstx.sr.BasicStreamReader.getText(BasicStreamReader.java:809) > at org.apache.solr.handler.XMLLoader.readDoc(XMLLoader.java:287) > at org.apache.solr.handler.XMLLoader.processUpdate(XMLLoader.java:146) > at org.apache.solr.handler.XMLLoader.load(XMLLoader.java:77) > at > org.apache.solr.handler.ContentStreamHandlerBase.handleRequestBody(ContentStreamHandlerBase.java:67) > at > org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase.handleRequest(RequestHandlerBase.java:129) > at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.execute(SolrCore.java:1368) > at > org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.execute(SolrDispatchFilter.java:356) > at > org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java:252) > at > org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1212) > at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.handle(ServletHandler.java:399) > at > org.mortbay.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle(SecurityHandler.java:216) > at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.SessionHandler.handle(SessionHandler.java:182) > at > org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandler.handle(ContextHandler.java:766) > at org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext.handle(WebAppContext.java:450) > at > org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandlerCollection.handle(ContextHandlerCollection.java:230) > at > org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerCollection.handle(HandlerCollection.java:114) > at > org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:152) > at org.mortbay.jetty.Server.handle(Server.java:326) > at > org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection.handleRequest(HttpConnection.java:542) > at > org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection$RequestHandler.content(HttpConnection.java:945) > at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpParser.parseNext(HttpParser.java:756) > at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpParser.parseAvailable(HttpParser.java:218) > at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection.handle(HttpConnection.java:404) > at > org.mortbay.jetty.bio.SocketConnector$Connection.run(SocketConnector.java:228) > at > org.mortbay.thread.QueuedThreadPool$PoolThread.run(QueuedThreadPool.java:582) > Caused by: java.io.CharConversionException: Invalid UTF-8 middle byte 0x73 > (at char #66641, byte #65289) > at com.ctc.wstx.io.UTF8Reader.reportInvalidOther(UTF8Reader.java:313) > at com.ctc.wstx.io.UTF8Reader.read(UTF8Reader.java:204) > at com.ctc.wstx.io.MergedReader.read(MergedReader.java:101) > at com.ctc.wstx.io.ReaderSource.readInto(ReaderSource.java:84) > at > com.ctc.wstx.io.BranchingReaderSource.readInto(BranchingReaderSource.java:57) > at com.ctc.wstx.sr.StreamScanner.loadMore(StreamScanner.java:992) > at > com.ctc.wstx.sr.BasicStreamReader.readTextSecondary(BasicStreamReader.java:4628) > at > com.ctc.wstx.sr.BasicStreamReader.readCoalescedText(BasicStreamReader.java:4126) > at > com.ctc.wstx.sr.BasicStreamReader.finishToken(BasicStreamReader.java:3701) > at > com.ctc.wstx.sr.BasicStreamReader.safeFinishToken(BasicStreamReader.java:3649) > ... 26 more > > > Also, is there a setting so I can change the level of backtrace?

Re: Stemming and other tokenizers
I have a similar use case, but slightly more flexible and straight forward. In my case, I have a field "language" which stores 'en', 'es' or whatever the language of the document is. Then the field 'transcript' stores the actual content which is in the language as described in language field. Following up with the conversation, is this how I am supposed to proceed: 1. Create one field type in my schema per supported language. This would cause me to create ~30 fields. 2. Since, I already know the language of my content, I can skip SOLR-1979 (which is expected in Solr 3.5) The point where I am unclear is, how do I specify at Index time, to use a certain field for a certain language? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny> On Mon, Sep 12, 2011 at 20:55, Jan Høydahl wrote: > Hi, > > Do they?

StopWords coming in Top 10 terms despite using StopFilterFactory

Suggestions on how to perform infrastructure migration from 1.4 to 3.4?
Hi List, We have our production search infrastructure as - 1 indexing master, 2 serving identical twin slaves. They are all Solr 1.4 beasts. Apart from this we have 1 beast on Solr 3.4, which we have benchmarked against our production setup (against performance and relevancy) and would like to upgrade our production setup. Something like this has not happened before in our organization. I'd like to know opinions from the community about what are ways in which this migration can be performed? Will there be any downtimes, if so for how many hours? What are some of the common issues that might come along? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>
How to achieve Indexing @ 270GiB/hr
Greetings, While going through the article 265% indexing speedup with Lucene's concurrent flushing<http://java.dzone.com/news/265-indexing-speedup-lucenes?mz=33057-solr_lucene> I was stunned by the endless possibilities in which Indexing speed could be increased. I'd like to take inputs from everyone over here as to how to achieve this speed. As far as I understand there are two broad ways of feeding data to Solr - 1. Using DataImportHandler 2. Using HTTP to POST docs to Solr. The speeds at which the article describes indexing seems kinda too much to expect using the second approach. Or is it possible using multiple instances feeding docs to Solr? My current setup does the following - 1. Execute SQL queries to create database of documents that needs to be fed. 2. Go through the columns one by one, and create XMLs for them and send it over to Solr in batches of max 500 docs. Even if using DataImportHandler what are the ways this could be optimized? If I am able to solve the problem of indexing data in our current setup, my life would become a lot easier. *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>
Painfully slow indexing
Hi guys, I have set up a Solr instance and upon attempting to index document, the whole process is painfully slow. I will try to put as much info as I can in this mail. Pl. feel free to ask me anything else that might be required. I am sending documents in batches not exceeding 2,000. The size of each of them depends but usually is around 10-15MiB. My indexing script tells me that Solr took T seconds to add N documents of size S. For the same data, the Solr Log add QTime is QT. Some of the sample data are: N ST QT - 390 docs | 3,478,804 Bytes | 14.5s| 2297 852 docs | 6,039,535 Bytes | 25.3s| 4237 1345 docs | 11,147,512 Bytes | 47s | 8543 1147 docs | 9,457,717 Bytes | 44s | 2297 1096 docs | 13,058,204 Bytes | 54.3s | 8782 The time T includes the time of converting an array of Hash objects into XML, POSTing it to Solr and response acknowledged from Solr. Clearly, there is a huge difference between both the time T and QT. After a lot of efforts, I have no clue why these times do not match. The Server has 16 cores, 48GiB RAM. JVM options are -Xms5000M -Xmx5000M -XX:+UseParNewGC I believe my Indexing is getting slow. Relevant portion from my schema file are as follows. On a related note, every document has one dynamic field. Based on this rate, it takes me ~30hrs to do a full index of my database. I would really appreciate kindness of community in order to get this indexing faster. false 10 10 2048 2147483647 300 1000 5 256 10 false true true 1 0 false 10 *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>
Re: Painfully slow indexing
Hey guys, Your responses are welcome, but I still haven't gained a lot of improvements *Are you posting through HTTP/SOLRJ?* I am using RSolr gem, which internally uses Ruby HTTP lib to POST document to Solr *Your script time 'T' includes time between sending POST request -to- the response fetched after successful response right??* Correct. It also includes the time taken to convert all those documents from a Ruby Hash to XML. *generate the ready-for-indexing XML documents on a file system* Alain, I have somewhere 6m documents for Indexing. You mean to say that I should convert all of it into one XML file and then index? *are you calling commit after your batches or do an optimize by any chance?* I am not optimizing, but I am performing an autocommit every 10 docs. *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny> On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 16:32, Simon Willnauer < simon.willna...@googlemail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 3:58 PM, Pranav Prakash wrote: > > Hi guys, > > > > I have set up a Solr instance and upon attempting to index document, the > > whole process is painfully slow.

Howto Programatically check if the index is optimized or not?
Hi, After the commit, my optimize usually takes 20 minutes. The thing is that I need to know programatically if the optimization has completed or not. Is there an API call through which I can know the status of optimization? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>

Memory usage on system goes higher and higher until it consumes all the
memory (I dont receive OOM errors, there is always like 300 MB free
memory). The total memory I have is 48GiB. My Index size is 138GiB and
there are about 10m documents in the index.
I also get the following warning, but I am not sure how to get it done.
WARNING: Deprecated syntax found. should move to
My Solr log with highlighting turned on looks something like this
[core0] webapp=/solr path=/select
params={mm=3<90%25&qf=title^2&hl.simple.pre=&hl.fl=title,transcript,transcript_en&wt=ruby&hl=true&rows=12&defType=dismax&fl=id,title,description&debugQuery=false&start=0&q=asdfghjkl&bf=recip(ms(NOW,created_at),1.88e-11,1,1)&hl.simple.post=&ps=50}
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance !!

Something like "featured results" in solr response?
Hi, I believe, there is a feature in Solr, which allows to return a set of "featured" documents for a query. I did read it couple of months back, and now when I have decided to work on it, I somehow can't find it's reference. Here is the description - For a search keyword, apart from the results generated by Solr (which is based on relevancy, score), there is another set of documents which just comes up. It is very much similar to the "sponsored results" feature of Google. Can you guys point me to the appropriate resources for the same? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>
Re: Something like "featured results" in solr response?
Thanks a lot :-) This is exactly what I had read back then. However, going through it now, it seems that everytime a document needs to be elevated, it has to be in the config file. Which means that Solr should be restarted. This does not make a lot of sense for a production environment, where Solr restarts are as infrequent as config changes. What could be a sound way to implement this? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny> 2012/1/30 Rafał Kuć > Hello! > > Please look at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/QueryElevationComponent. > > -- > Regards, > Rafał Kuć > Sematext :: http://sematext.com/ :: Solr - Lucene - Nutch > > > Hi, > > > I believe, there is a feature in Solr, which allows to return a set of > > "featured" documents for a query.

Deduplication in MLT
I have an implementation of Deduplication as mentioned at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Deduplication. It is helpful in grouping search results. I would like to achieve the same functionality in my MLT queries, where the result set should include grouped documents. What is a good way to do the same? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce"
Questions about Solr MLTHanlder, performance, Indexes
Hi folks, I am new to Solr, and using it for web application. I have been experimenting with it and have a couple of doubts which I was unable to resolve by Google. Our portal allows users to upload content and the fields we use are - title, description, transcript, tags. Now each of the content has certain - hits, downloads, favorites and auto calculated values - rating. We have a master/slave configuration (1 master, 2 slaves). Solr version: 1.4.0 Java version "1.6.0_16" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode) 32GiB RAM and 8 Core Index Size: ~100 GiB One of my use case is to find out related documents given a document ID. I have been using More Like Handler to generate related documents, using DisMax query. Now, I have to filter out certain content from the results solr gives me. So, if for a document id X, solr returns me a list of 20 related documents, I want to apply a filter that these 20 documents should not contain "black listed words". This is fairly straight forward in a direct query using NOT operator. How is it possible to implement a similar behavior in MoreLikeThisHandler? Every week, we perform a full index of all the documents and a nightly incremental indexing. This is done by a script which reads data from MySQL and updates it to Solr. Sometimes it happens that the script fails after updating 60% of the documents. Commit has not been performed at this stage. The next cron executes, it adds some more documents and commits them. So, will this commit involve the current update as well as the last uncommitted updates as well? Are those uncommitted changes (which are stored in a temp file) deleted after some time? Is there a way to clean uncommitted changes? Off lately, Solr has started to perform slow. When Solr is started it goes quick and responds to requests in ~100ms. Gradually (very gradually) it goes on to a limit where avg response time of last 10 queries goes beyond 5000ms, and that is when requests start to pile up. As I am composing this mail, optimize command is being executed which I hope should help, but to what extent, I will need to see. Finally, what happens if the schema of master and slave are different (there exists a field in master which does not exist in slave). I thought that replication would show me some kind of error, but it went on successfully. Thanks, Pranav
Removing duplicate documents from search results
How can I remove very similar documents from search results? My scenario is that there are documents in the index which are almost similar (people submitting same stuff multiple times, sometimes different people submitting same stuff). Now when a search is performed for "keyword", in the top N results, quite frequently, same document comes up multiple times. I want to remove those duplicate (or possible duplicate) documents. Very similar to what Google does when they say "In order to show you most relevant result, duplicates have been removed". How can I achieve this functionality using Solr? Does Solr has an implied or plugin which could help me with it? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>
Re: Removing duplicate documents from search results
This approach would definitely work is the two documents are *Exactly* the same. But this is very fragile. Even if one extra space has been added, the whole hash would change. What I am really looking for is some %age similarity between documents, and remove those documents which are more than 95% similar. *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny> On Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 15:16, Omri Cohen wrote: > What you need to do, is to calculate some HASH (using any message digest > algorithm you want, md5, sha-1 and so on), then do some reading on solr > field collapse capabilities.

Custom Handler support in Solr-ruby
Hi, I found solr-ruby gem (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/solr-ruby) really inflexible in terms of specifying handler. The Solr::Request::Select class defines handler as "select" and all other classes inherit from this class. And since the methods in Solr::Connection use one of the classes from Solr::Request, I don't see a direct way to use a custom handler (which I have made for MoreLikeThis). Currently, the approach I am using is to create the query URL, do a CURL, parse the response and return it. Even if I'd to extend the classes, I'd end up making a new Solr::Request::CustomSelect which will be similar to Solr::Request::Select except for the flexibility for the user to provide handler, defaulted by 'select'. Then creating different classes each for DisMax and all, which will be derived from Solr::Request::CustomSelect. Isn't this too much of an overhead? Or am I missing something? Also, where can I file bugs to solr-ruby? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>
Index Version and Epoch Time?
Hi, I am not sure what is the index number value? It looks like an epoch time, but in my case, this points to one month back. However, i can see documents which were added last week, to be in the index. Even after I did a commit, the index number did not change? Isn't it supposed to change on every commit? If not, is there a way to look into the last index time? Also, this page http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrReplication#Replication_Dashboard shows a Replication Dashboard. How is this dashboard invoked? Is there any URL which needs to be called? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>

Re: Index Version and Epoch Time?
Hi,
I am facing multiple issues with solr and I am not sure what happens in each
case. I am quite naive in Solr and there are some scenarios I'd like to
discuss with you.
We have a huge volume of documents to be indexed. Somewhere about 5 million.
We have a full indexer script which essentially picks up all the documents
from database and updates into Solr and an incremental script which adds new
documents to Solr.. Relevant areas of my config file goes like
false
false
1
10
${enable.master:false}
startup
commit
${enable.slave:false}
http://hostname:port/solr/core0/replication
Sometimes, while the full indexer script breaks while adding documents to
Solr. The script adds the documents and then commits the operation. So, when
the script breaks, we have a huge lot of data which has been updated but not
committed. Next, the incremental index script executes, and figures out all
the new entries, adds them to Solr. It works successfully and commits the
operation.
- Will the commit by incremental indexer script also commit the
previously uncommitted changes made by full indexer script before it broke?
Sometimes, while during execution, Solr's avg response time 9avg resp time
for last 10 requests, read from log file) goes as high as 9000ms (which I am
still unclear why, any ideas how to start hunting for the problem?), so the
watchdog process restarts Solr (because it causes a pile of requests queue
at application server, which causes app server to crash). On my local
environment, I performed the same experiment by adding docs to Solr, killing
the process and restarting it. I found that the uncommitted changes were
applied and searchable. However, the updates were uncommitted. Could you
explain me as to how is this happening, or is there a configuration that can
be adjusted for this? Also, what would the index state be if after the
restarting Solr, a commit is applied or a commit is not applied?
I'd be happy to provide any other information that might be needed.

Dealing with keyword stuffing
I guess most of you have already handled and many of you might still be handling keyword stuffing. Here is my scenario. We have a huge index containing about 6m docs. (Not sure if that is huge :-) And every document contains title, description, tags, content (textual data). People have been doing keyword stuffing on the documents, so when searched for a "query term", the first results are always the ones who are optimized. So, instead of people getting relevant results, they get spam content (highly optimized, keyword stuffed content) as first few results. I have tried a couple of things like providing different boosts to different fields, but almost everything seems to fail. I'd like to know how did you guys fixed this thing? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>

The ratio of tokens/total_length would be nearer to 1 for a stuffed document, while it would be nearer to 0 for a bogus document. Somewhere between the two lies documents that are more likely to be meaningful. I am not sure how to use SweetSpotSimilarity. I am googling on this, but any useful insights are so much appreciated.
Re: Index
Every indexed document has to have a unique ID associated with it. You may do a search by ID something like http://localhost:/solr/select?q=id:X If you see a result, then the document has been indexed and is searchable. You might also want to check Luke (http://code.google.com/p/luke) to gain more insight about the index. *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny> On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 03:40, GAURAV PAREEK wrote: > Yes NICK you are correct ? > how can you check whether it has been indexed by solr, and is searchable? > > On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 3:27 AM, Nicholas Chase >wrote: > > > Do you mean, how can you check whether it has been indexed by solr, and > is > > searchable? > > > > Nick > > > > > > On 7/28/2011 5:45 PM, GAURAV PAREEK wrote: > > > >> Hi All, > >> > >> How we can check the particular;ar file is not INDEX in solr ? > >> > >> Regards, > >> Gaurav > >> > >> >
Re: Dealing with keyword stuffing
Cool, So I used SweetSpotSimilarity with default params and I see some improvements. However, I could still see some of the 'stuffed' documents coming up in the results. I feel that SweetSpotSimilarity alone is not enough. Going through http://trec.nist.gov/pubs/trec16/papers/ibm-haifa.mq.final.pdf I figure out that there are other things - Pivoted Length Normalization and term frequency normalization that needs fine tuning too. Should I create a custom Similarity Class that overrides all the default behavior? I guess that should help me get more relevant results. Where should I start beginning with it? Pl. do not assume less obvious things, I am still learning !! :-) *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny> On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 17:03, Gora Mohanty wrote: > On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 3:48 PM, Pranav Prakash wrote: > [...] > > I am not sure how to use SweetSpotSimilarity.

Re: Solr Incremental Indexing
There could be multiple ways of getting this done, and the exact one depends a lot on factors like - what system are you using? How realtime the change has to be reflected back into the system? How is the indexing/replication done? Usually, in cases where the tolerance is about 6hrs (i.e. your DB change wont be reflected in Solr Index for as high as 6hrs), you can set up a cron job to be triggered every 6 hrs. It will see all the changes made between that time, and update Index and commit it. In cases, where a more real time requirement, there could be a trigger in the application (and not at the db level), which would fork a process to update Solr about this change by means of delayed task. If using this approach, it is suggested to use autocommit every N documents, N could be anything depending your app. *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny> On Sun, Jul 31, 2011 at 02:32, Alexei Martchenko < ale...@superdownloads.com.br> wrote: > I always have a field in my databases called datelastmodified, so whenever > I > update that record, i set it to getdate() - mssql func - and then get all > latest records order by that field. > > 2011/7/29 Mohammed Lateef Hussain > > > Hi > > > > Need some help in Solr incremental indexing approch. > > > > I have built my Solr index using SolrJ API and now want to update the > index > > whenever any changes has been made in > > database.

Re: Solr 3.3 crashes after ~18 hours?
What do you mean by it just crashes? Does the process stops execution? Does it takes too long to respond which might result in lots of 503s in your application? Does the system run out of resources? Are you indexing and serving from the same server? It happened once with us that Solr was performing commit and then optimize while the load from app server was at its peak. This caused slow response from search server, which caused requests getting stacked up at app server and causing 503s. Could you look if you have a similar syndrome? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny> On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 15:31, alexander sulz wrote: > Hello folks, > > I'm using the latest stable Solr release -> 3.3 and I encounter strange > phenomena with it. > After about 19 hours it just crashes, but I can't find anything in the > logs, no exceptions, no warnings, > no suspicious info entries.. > > I have an index-job running from 6am to 8pm every 10 minutes.

How come this query string starts with wildcard?
While going through my error logs of Solr, i found that a user had fired a query - jawapan ujian bulanan thn 4 (bahasa melayu). This was converted to following for autosuggest purposes - jawapan?ujian?bulanan?thn?4?(bahasa?melayu)* by the javascript code. Solr threw the exception Cannot parse 'jawapan?ujian?bulanan?thn?4?(bahasa?melayu)*': '*' or '?' not allowed as first character in WildcardQuery How come this query string begins with wildcard character? When I changed the query to remove brackets, everything went smooth. There were no results, because probably my search index didn't had any. *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce" Twitter <http://twitter.com/pranavprakash> | Blog <http://blog.myblive.com> | Google <http://www.google.com/profiles/pranny>

OOM due to JRE Issue (LUCENE-1566)
Hi, This might probably have been discussed long time back, but I got this error recently in one of my production slaves. SEVERE: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: OutOfMemoryError likely caused by the Sun VM Bug described in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1566; try calling FSDirectory.setReadChunkSize with a a value smaller than the current chunk size (2147483647) I am currently using Solr1.4. Going through JIRA Issue comments, I found that this patch applies to 2.9 or above. We are also planning an upgrade to Solr 3.3. Is this patch included in 3.3 so as to I don't have to manually apply the patch? What are the other workarounds of the problem?

Top 5 high freq words - UpdateProcessorChain or DIH Script?
Hi, I want to store top 5 high frequency non-stopwords words. I use DIH to import data. Now I have two approaches - 1. Use DIH JavaScript to find top 5 frequency words and put them in a copy field. The copy field will then stem it and remove stop words based on appropriate tokenizers. 2. Write a custom function for the same and add it to UpdateRequestProcessor Chain. Which of the two would be better suited? I find the first approach rather simple, but the issue is that I won't be having access to stop words/synonyms etc at the DIH time. In the second approach, if I add it to UpdateRequestProcessor Chain and insert the function after StopWordsFilterFactory and DuplicateRemoveFilterFactory, should be rather good way of doing this? -- *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce"

How To apply transformation in DIH for multivalued numeric field?
I have a multivalued integer field and a multivalued string field defined in my schema as The DIH entity and field defn for the same goes as The value for field community_tags comes correctly as an array of strings. However the value of field community_tag_ids is not proper [B@390c0a18 I tried chaining NumberFormatTransformer with formatStyle="number" but that throws DataImportHandlerException: Failed to apply NumberFormat on column. Could it be due to NULL values from database or because the value is not proper? How do we handle NULL in this case? *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce"
Re: DIH XML configs for multi environment
That approach would work for core dependent parameters. In my case, the params are environment dependent. I think a simpler approach would be to pass the url param as JVM options, and these XMLs get it from there.

Re: How To apply transformation in DIH for multivalued numeric field?
I had tried with splitBy for numeric field, but that also did not worked
for me. However I got rid of group_concat and it was all good to go.
Thanks a lot!! I really had a difficult time understanding this behavior.

Re: DIH XML configs for multi environment
Jerry,
Glad it worked for you. I will also do the same thing. This seems easier
for me, as I have a solr start shell script, which sets the JVM params for
master/slave, Xmx and so on according to the environment. Setting a jdbc
connect url in the start script is convenient than changing the configs.

Exact match on few fields, fuzzy on others
Hi Folks, I am using Solr 3.4 and my document schema has attributes - title, transcript, author_name. Presently, I am using DisMax to search for a user query across transcript. I would also like to do an exact search on author_name so that for a query "Albert Einstein", I would want to get all the documents which contain Albert or Einstein in transcript and also those documents which have author_name exactly as 'Albert Einstein'. Can we do this by dismax query parser? The schema for both the fields are below: -- *Pranav Prakash* "temet nosce"
Re: Importing of unix date format from mysql database and dates of format 'Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:32:33 +0000' in Solr 4.0
I am experiencing similar problem related to encoding. In my case, the char
like " (double quote)
is also garbaled.
I believe this is because the encoding in my MySQL table is latin1 and in
the JDBC it is being specified as UTF-8. Is there a way to specify latin1
charset in JDBC? probably that would resolve this.

The character is actually - “ and not "

Re: DIH import from MySQL results in garbage text for special chars
I am seeing the garbage text in browser, Luke Index Toolbox and everywhere
it is the same. My servlet container is Jetty which is the out-of-box one.
Many other special chars are getting indexed and stored properly, only few
characters causes pain.

Re: DIH import from MySQL results in garbage text for special chars
I looked at the HEX codes of the texts. The hex code in MySQL is different
from that which is stored in the index.
The hex code in index is longer than the hex code in MySQL, this leads me
to the fact that somewhere in between smething is messing up,

The output of Show variables goes like this.
