Multilingual search in multicore solr
Hi, all, I am going to multilingual search in multicore solr. Specifically, the design of the solr server is like: I have several cores corresponding to different languages, where each core has its configuration files and data. I have following questions: 1. While indexing a document, I use ExtractingRequestHandler in Tika0.10 (embed in Solr3.5.0) and I can get a field "language_s" after indexing. Is it possible to get the info of the "language_s" before indexing happens, so that I can put the document in the corresponding core? 2. In searching with a query, is it possible that I can use language detection function to determine the language code of the query, so that I direct the query to the corresponding core? Thanks for your suggestions. Note: In this thread I would like to stick on multicore solr and want to see whether the problems can be solved. Meanwhile, I am aware that multilingual search does not necessarily need multicore solr, which I have learned in previous thread. http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Tika0-10-language-identifier-in-Solr3-5-0-tt3671712.html#none -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Multilingual-search-in-multicore-solr-tp3698969p3698969.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
language specific fields of "text"
Hi, all, In this thread, I would like to ask some technical questions about how the schema is defined to achieve language specific fields "text". Say, currently I have the filed "text" defined as follows: text*" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true"/> After indexing a document, I can see a field in the document extracted correctly. My first attempt is to add a filed named "text_en", defined exactly the same way as "text": text_en*" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true"/> However, after indexing the same document, why cannot I see the filed extracted? Is it because "text" is a reserved field that cannot be changed dynamically? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/language-specific-fields-of-text-tp3698985p3698985.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Multilingual search in multicore solr
Hi, Erick Erickson, Your suggestions are sound. For (1), if I use SolrJ as the client to access Solr, then java coding becomes the most challenging part. Technically, I want to achieve the same effect with highlighting, faceting search, language detection, etc. Do you know some example SC that I can refer to? For (2), I agree with you on the difficulty in detecting language from just a few words. Thus, alternatively I can suggest a set of results and let users to decide. You also mentioned score. Say, I have not so many cores, and so for every query I direct it to all the cores, returned with a set of scores. Is it confident to conclude that the highest score gives the most confidence of the results? Thanks.

Re: language specific fields of "text"
Hi, Paul, I understand your point of missing "text_en" in the document. It is. Not "text_en" but "text" exists. But then it arises the question: isn't it dynamic to add language specific suffixes to an existing filed "text"? I am new here. As far as I know, for some field "title", people can create "title_en" "title_fr" to incorporate different analyzers in the same schema. Even this, I am not seeing it happens. Thus, I am thinking whether it is possible I neglect some obvious point? "Bing" is very common in the names of Chinese, as there are several Chinese characters corresponding to the same pronunciation. Thanks for reply.

Indexing content in XML files
Hi, all, I am investigating the indexing in XML files. Currently, I have two findings: 1. Use DataImportHanlder. This requires to create one more configuration file for DIH, data-config.xml, which defines the fields specifically for my XML files. 2. Use the example package coming with Solr. This only requires to define the fields in the schema, and no additional configuration file needed. \apache-solr-3.5.0\example\exampledocs>java -jar post.jar *.xml I don't know whether I understand the two methods correctly, but it seems to me that they are absolutely different. If I want to index XML files with many self-defined fields, probably with embedded fields, which one makes more sense? Thanks.

Fail to compile Java code (trying to use SolrJ with Solr)
Hi, all,
I am trying to coding Java so that use SolrJ to access Solr, but failed in
the first attempt. I have some experience in Solr, but I am a newbie of
SolrJ. The following are the description of what I set, what I did, and what
I got. I will be grateful if anyone can bring out some suggestions and point
out my mistakes.
What I have:
Following are the necessary tools installed
1. Java 1.6.0_26
2. apache-tomcat-6.0.32
3. apache-solr-3.5.0
4. apache-solr-3.5.0-src
5. apache-maven-2.2.1
6. apache-ant-1.8.2
What I Set:
1. Classpath c:\apache-solr-3.5.0\apache-solr-3.5.0\dist
Following are the jars might be used and also consisted in the directory
indicated in the classpath:
apache-solr-solrj-3.5.0.jar
solrj-lib/commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
solrj-lib/commons-codec-1.5.jar
2. Pom.xml in C:\apache-solr-3.5.0-src\apache-solr-3.5.0\
Adding the following dependency:
org.apache.solr
solr-solrj
3.5.0
What I Did:
1. Try to compile a MySolrJTest.java.
Following is the sc, simple enough.
import org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServer;
class MySolrjTest
{
public void query(String q)
{
CommonsHttpSolrServer server = null;
try
{
server = new
CommonsHttpSolrServer("http://localhost:8983/solr/";);
}

{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
MySolrjTest solrj = new MySolrjTest();
solrj.query(args[0]);
}
}
What I Get:
After I compile the code using the following command, errors arouse:
C:\apache-solr-3.5.0-src>javac MySolrjTest.java

Development inside or outside of Solr?
Hi, all, I am deploying a multicore solr server runing on Tomcat, where I want to achieve language detection during index/query. Solr3.5.0 has a wrapped Tika API that can do language detection. Currently, the default behavior of Solr3.5.0 is, every time I index a document, and at mean time Solr call Tika API to give the result of language detection, i.e. index and detection happens at the same time. However, I hope I can have the language detection result first, and then I decide which core to put the document, i.e. detection happens before index. There seems that I need to do development in either of the following ways: 1. I might need to do revision of Solr itself, change the default behavior of Solr; 2. Or I might write a Java client outside Solr, call the client through server (JSP maybe) in index/query. Can anyone meeting with similar conditions give some suggestions about the advantages and disad of the two approaches? Any other alternatives? Thank you.

Re: Development inside or outside of Solr?
Hi, Erick, The example is impressive. Thank you. For the first, we decide not to do that, as Tika extraction is time-consuming part in indexing large files, and the dual call make the situation worse. For the second, for now, we choose Dspace to connect to DB, and discovery(solr) as the index/query. Thus, we might do revisions in dspace.

Can solr-langid(Solr3.5.0) detect multiple languages in one text?
Hi, all, I am using solr-langid(Solr3.5.0) to do language detection, and I hope multiple languages in one text can be detected. The example text is: 咖哩起源於印度。印度民間傳說咖哩是佛祖釋迦牟尼所創，由於咖哩的辛辣與香味可以幫助遮掩羊肉的腥騷，此舉即為用以幫助不吃豬肉與牛肉的印度人。在泰米爾語中，「kari」是「醬」的意思。在馬來西亞，kari也稱dal（當在mamak檔）。早期印度被蒙古人所建立的莫臥兒帝國（Mughal Empire）所統治過，其間從波斯（現今的伊朗）帶來的飲食習慣，從而影響印度人的烹調風格直到現今。 Curry (plural, Curries) is a generic term primarily employed in Western culture to denote a wide variety of dishes originating in Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Thai or other Southeast Asian cuisines. Their common feature is the incorporation of more or less complex combinations of spices and herbs, usually (but not invariably) including fresh or dried hot capsicum peppers, commonly called "chili" or "cayenne" peppers. I want the text can be separated into two parts, and the part in Chinese goes to "text_zh-tw" while the other one "text_en". Can I do something like that? Thank you.

Re: Can solr-langid(Solr3.5.0) detect multiple languages in one text?
Hi, Jan Høydahl, Forgot to mention, the identifier I use is an existing one wrapped in Solr3.5.0., LangDetectLanguageIdentifier (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LanguageDetection). For the language identifier, I looked into the sc, and found that the whole content of a text is parsed before detection, which is why the end result consists of a specific language instead of multiple languages. Then I can assume, if the content is processed section by section (or even line by line), the end result shall consist of multiple languages. So the question is, can you guys plug this modification of the existing identifier into Solr?

Sort for Retrieved Data
Dear all, I have a question when sorting retrieved data from Solr. As I know, Lucene retrieves data according to the degree of keyword matching on text field (partial matching). If I search data by string field (complete matching), how does Lucene sort the retrieved data? If I add some filters, such as time, what about the sorting way? If I just need to top ones, is it proper to just add rows? If I want to add new sorting ways, how to do that? Thanks so much! Bing
How to Sort By a PageRank-Like Complicated Strategy?
Dear all, I am using SolrJ to implement a system that needs to provide users with searching services. I have some questions about Solr searching as follows. As I know, Lucene retrieves data according to the degree of keyword matching on text field (partial matching). But, if I search data by string field (complete matching), how does Lucene sort the retrieved data? If I want to add new sorting ways, Solr's function query seems to support this feature. However, for a complicated ranking strategy, such PageRank, can Solr provide an interface for me to do that? My ranking ways are more complicated than PageRank. Now I have to load all of matched data from Solr first by keyword and rank them again in my ways before showing to users. It is correct? Thanks so much! Bing
Re: How to Sort By a PageRank-Like Complicated Strategy?
Hi, Kai, Thanks so much for your reply! If the retrieving is done on a string field, not a text field, a complete matching approach should be used according to my understanding, right?

Re: How to Sort By a PageRank-Like Complicated Strategy?
Dear Shashi, Thanks so much for your reply! However, I think the value of PageRank is not a static one. It must update on the fly. As I know, Lucene index is not suitable to be updated too frequently. If so, how to deal with that?

SolrCell takes InputStream
Hi,
While using ContentStreamUpdateRequest up = new
ContentStreamUpdateRequest("/update/extract");
The two ways of adding a file are
up.addFile(File)
up.addContentStream(ContentStream)
However my raw files are stored on some remote storage devices. I am able to
get an InputStream object for the file to be indexed. To me it may seem
awkward to have the file temporarily stored locally. Is there a way of
directly passing the InputStream in (e.g. constructing ContentStream using
the InputStream)?
Thanks.

Search match all tokens in Query Text
Hello, I have a field text with type text_general here. When I query for text:a b, solr returns results that contain only a but not b. That is, it uses OR operator between the two tokens. Am I right here? What should I do to force an AND operator between the two tokens?

How to define a lowercase fieldtype without tokenizer
Hi, I don't want the field to be tokenized because Solr doesn't support sorting on a tokenized field. In order to do case insensitive sorting I need to copy a field to a lowercase but not tokenized field. How to define this? I did below but it says I need to specify a tokenizer or a class for analyzer.

Re: How to Sort By a PageRank-Like Complicated Strategy?
Dear Shashi, As I learned, big data, such as Lucene index, was not suitable to be updated frequently. Frequent updating must affect the performance and consistency when Lucene index must be replicated in a large scale cluster. It is expected such a search engine must work in a write-once & read-many environment, right? That's what HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) provides. According to my experience, it is really slow when updating a Lucene Index. Why did you say I could update Lucene index frequently? Thanks so much!

How is Data Indexed in HBase?
Dear all, I wonder how data in HBase is indexed? Now Solr is used in my system because data is managed in inverted index. Such an index is suitable to retrieve unstructured and huge amount of data. How does HBase deal with the issue? May I replaced Solr with HBase? Thanks so much! Best regards, Bing
Re: Solr & HBase - Re: How is Data Indexed in HBase?
Mr Gupta, Thanks so much for your reply! In my use cases, retrieving data by keyword is one of them. I think Solr is a proper choice. However, Solr does not provide a complex enough support to rank. And, frequent updating is also not suitable in Solr. So it is difficult to retrieve data randomly based on the values other than keyword frequency in text. In this case, I attempt to use HBase. But I don't know how HBase support high performance when it needs to keep consistency in a large scale distributed system. Now both of them are used in my system. I will check out ElasticSearch.

How to Transmit and Append Indexes
Hi, all, I am working on a distributed searching system. Now I have one server only. It has to crawl pages from the Web, generate indexes locally and respond users' queries. I think this is too busy for it to work smoothly. I plan to use two servers at at least. The jobs to crawl pages and generate indexes are done by one of them. After that, the new available indexes should be transmitted to anther one which is responsible for responding users' queries. From users' point of view, this system must be fast. However, I don't know how I can get the additional indexes which I can transmit. After transmission, how to append them to the old indexes? Does the appending block searching? Thanks so much for your help! Bing Li
Is it fine to transmit indexes in this way?
Hi, all, Since I didn't find that Lucene presents updated indexes to us, may I transmit indexes in the following way? 1) One indexing machine, A, is busy with generating indexes; 2) After a certain time, the indexing process is terminated; 3) Then, the new indexes are transmitted to machines which serve users' queries; 4) It is possible that some index files have the same names. So the conflicting files should be renamed; 5) After the transmission is done, the transmitted indexes are removed from A. 6) After the removal, the indexing process is started again on A. The reason I am trying to do that is to load balancing the search load. One machine is responsible for generating indexes and the others are responsible for responding queries. If the above approaches do not work, may I see the updates of indexes in Lucene? May I transmit them? And, may I append them to existing indexes? Does the appending affect the querying? I am learning Solr. But it seems that Solr does that for me. However, I have to set up Tomcat to use Solr. I think it is a little bit heavy. Thanks! Bing Li
Re: Is it fine to transmit indexes in this way?
Thanks so much, Gora! What do you mean by appending? If you mean adding to an existing index (on reindexing, this would normally mean an update for an existing Solr document ID, and a create for a new Solr document ID), the best way probably is not to delete the index on the master server (what you call machine A). Once the indexing is completed, a commit ensures that new documents show up for any subsequent queries. When updates are replicated to slave servers, it is supposed that the updates are merged with the existing indexes and readings on them can be done concurrently. If so, the queries must be responded instantly. That's what I mean "appending". Does it happen in Solr?

Re: How to Transmit and Append Indexes
Hi, Gora, No, I really wonder if Solr is based on Hadoop? Hadoop is efficient when using on search engines since it is suitable to the write-once-read-many model. After reading your emails, it looks like Solr's distributed file system does the same thing. Both of them are good for searching large indexes in a large scale distributed environment, right? Thanks!

Import Data Into Solr
Hi, all, I am a new user of Solr. Before using it, all of the data is indexed myself with Lucene. According to the Chapter 3 of the book, Solr. 1.4 Enterprise Search Server written by David Smiley and Eric Pugh, data in the formats of XML, CSV and even PDF, etc, can be imported to Solr. If I wish to import the Lucene indexes into Solr, may I have any other approaches? I know that Solr is a serverized Lucene. Thanks, Bing Li

SolrHome and Solr Data Dir in solrconfig.xml
Dear all, I am a new user of Solr. When using Solr, SolrHome is set to /home/libing/Solr. When Tomcat is started, it must read solrconfig.xml to get Solr data dir, which is used to contain indexes. However, I have no idea how to associate SolrHome with Solr data dir. So a mistake occurs. All the indexes are put under $TOMCAT_HOME/bin. This is NOT what I expect. I hope indexes are under SolrHome. Could you please give me a hand? Best, Bing Li

SolrJ Tutorial
Hi, all, In the past, I always used SolrNet to interact with Solr. It works great. Now, I need to use SolrJ. I think it should be easier to do that than SolrNet since Solr and SolrJ should be homogeneous. But I cannot find a tutorial that is easy to follow. No tutorials explain the SolrJ programming step by step. No complete samples are found. Could anybody offer me some online resources to learn SolrJ? I also noticed Solr Cell and SolrJ POJO. Do you have detailed resources to them? Thanks so much! LB

SolrDocumentList Size vs NumFound
Dear all,
I got a weird problem. The number of searched documents is much more than
10. However, the size of SolrDocumentList is 10 and the getNumFound() is the
exact count of results. When I need to iterate the results as follows, only
10 are displayed. How to get the rest ones?
..
for (SolrDocument doc : docs)
{
System.out.println(doc.getFieldValue(Fields.CATEGORIZED_HUB_TITLE_FIELD) +
": " + doc.getFieldValue(Fields.CATEGORIZED_HUB_URL_FIELD) + "; " +
doc.getFieldValue(Fields.HUB_CATEGORY_NAME_FIELD) + "/" +
doc.getFieldValue(Fields.HUB_PARENT_CATEGORY_NAME_FIELD));
}
..
Could you give me a hand?
Thanks,

Detailed Steps for Scaling Solr
Dear all, I need to construct a site which supports searching for a large index. I think scaling Solr is required. However, I didn't get a tutorial which helps me do that step by step. I only have two resources as references. But both of them do not tell me the exact operations. 1) http://www.lucidimagination.com/Community/Hear-from-the-Experts/Articles/Scaling-Lucene-and-Solr 2) David Smiley, Eric Pugh; Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search Server If you have experiences to scale Solr, could you give me such tutorials? Thanks so much! LB
My Plan to Scale Solr
Dear all, I started to learn how to use Solr three months ago. My experiences are still limited. Now I crawl Web pages with my crawler and send the data to a single Solr server. It runs fine. Since the potential users are large, I decide to scale Solr. After configuring replication, a single index can be replicated to multiple servers. For shards, I think it is also required. I attempt to split the index according to the data categories and priorities. After that, I will use the above replication techniques and get high performance. The following work is not so difficult. I noticed some new terms, such as SolrClould, Katta and ZooKeeper. According to my current understandings, it seems that I can ignore them. Am I right? What benefits can I get if using them? Thanks so much! LB
Selection Between Solr and Relational Database
Dear all, I have started to learn Solr for two months. At least right now, my system runs good in a Solr cluster. I have a question when implementing one feature in my system. When retrieving documents by keyword, I believe Solr is faster than relational database. However, if doing the following operations, I guess the performance must be lower. Is it right? What I am trying to do is listed as follows. 1) All of the documents in Solr have one field which is used to differentiate them; different categories have different value in such a field, e.g., Group; the documents are classified as "news", "sports", "entertainment" and so on. 2) Retrieve all of them documents by the field, Group. 3) Besides the field of Group, another field called CreatedTime is also existed. I will filter the documents retrieved by Group according to the value of CreatedTime. The filtered documents are the final results I need. I guess the operation performance is lower than relational database, right? Could you please give me an explanation to that? Best regards, Li Bing

When Index is Updated Frequently
Dear all, According to my experiences, when the Lucene index updated frequently, its performance must become low. Is it correct? In my system, most data crawled from the Web is indexed and the corresponding index will NOT be updated any more. However, some indexes should be updated frequently like the records in relational databases. The sizes of the indexes are not so large as the crawled data. The updated index will NOT be scaled to many other nodes. In most time, they are located on a very limited number of machines. In this case, may I use Lucene indexes? Or I need to replace them with relational databases? Thanks so much! LB
Re: When Index is Updated Frequently
Dear Michael, Thanks so much for your answer! I have a question. If Lucene is good at updating, it must more loads on the Solr cluster. So in my system, I will leave the large amount of crawled data unchanged for ever. Meanwhile, I use a traditional database to keep mutable data. Fortunately, in most Internet systems, the amount of mutable data is much less than that of immutable one. How do you think about my solution?

how often do you boys restart your tomcat?
I find that, if I do not restart the master's tomcat for some days, the load average will keep rising to a high level, solr become slow and unstable, so I add a crontab to restart the tomcat everyday. do you boys restart your tomcat ? and is there any way to avoid restart tomcat?

Multiple Embedded Servers Pointing to single solrhome/index
Hi,
I'm trying to use two embedded solr servers pointing to a same solrhome /
index. So that's something like
System.setProperty("solr.solr.home", "SomeSolrDir");
CoreContainer.Initializer initializer = new
CoreContainer.Initializer();
CoreContainer coreContainer = initializer.initialize();
m_server = new EmbeddedSolrServer(coreContainer, "");
on both applications. The problem is, after I have done one add+commit
SolrInputDocument on one embedded server, the other server would fail to
obtain write lock any more. I'm thinking there must be a way of releasing
write lock so other servers may pick up. Is there an API that does so?
Any inputs are appreciated.
Bing
Re: Multiple Embedded Servers Pointing to single solrhome/index
Thanks Lance. The use case is to have a cluster of nodes which runs the same application with EmbeddedSolrServer on each of them, and they all point to the same index on NFS. Every application is designed equal, meaning that everyone may index and/or search. In such way, after every commit the writer needs to be closed for other nodes' availability. Do you see any issues of this use case? Is the EmbeddedSolrServer able to release its write lock without shutting down? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Multiple-Embedded-Servers-Pointing-to-single-solrhome-index-tp3999451p3999591.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Does Solr support 'Value Search'?

Solr index storage strategy on FileSystem
Hi folks, With StandardDirectoryFactory, index is stored under data/index in forms of frq, tim, tip and a few other files. While index grows larger, more files are generated and sometimes it merges a few of them. It's like there're some kinds of separation and merging strategies there. My question is, are the separation / merging strategies configurable? Basically I want to add a size limit for any individual file. Is it feasible without changing solr core code? Thanks!

Re: Does Solr support 'Value Search'?
Not quite understand but I'd explain the problem I had. The response would contain only fields and a list of field values that match the query. Essentially it's querying for field values rather than documents. The underlying use case would be, when typing in a quick search box, the drill down menu may contain matches on authors, on doctitles, and potentially on other fields. Still thanks for your response and hopefully I'm making it clearer.

Re: Does Solr support 'Value Search'?
Thanks Kuli and Mikhail, Using either termcomponent or suggester I could get some suggested terms but it's still confusing me how to get the respective field names. In order to get that, Use TermComponent I'll need to do a term query to every possible field. Similar things as using SpellCheckComponent. CopyField won't help since I want the original field name. Any suggestions?

Re: Multiple Embedded Servers Pointing to single solrhome/index
I agree. We chose embedded to minimize the maintenance cost of http solr servers. One more concern. Even if I have only one node doing indexing, other nodes need to reopen index reader periodically to catch up with new changes, right? Is there a solr request that does this?

Multiple SpellCheckComponents
Hello, Background is that I want to use both Suggest and SpellCheck features in a single query to have alternatives returned at one time. Right now I can only specify one of them using spellcheck.dictionary at query time. default .. suggest Am I able to use two separate SpellCheckComponents for these two and add them to a same searchhandler to achieve this? I tried and seems like one is overwriting the other. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Multiple-SpellCheckComponents-tp4000272.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
SpellCheckComponent Collation query

Tlog vs. buffer + softcommit.
Hello, I'm a bit confused with the purpose of Transaction Logs (Update Logs) in Solr. My understanding is, update request comes in, first the new item is put in RAM buffer as well as T-Log. After a soft commit happens, the new item becomes searchable but not hard committed in stable storage. Configuring soft commit interval to 1 sec achieves NRT. Then what exactly T-Log is doing in this scenario? Why is it there and under what circumstances is it being cleared? I tried to search for online documentations but no success. Trying to get something from source code. Any hints would be appreciated.

Re: Tlog vs. buffer + softcommit.
Thanks for the information. It definitely helps a lot. There're numDeletesToKeep = 1000; numRecordsToKeep = 100; in UpdateLog so this should probably be what you're referring to. However when I was doing indexing the total size of TLogs kept on increasing. It doesn't sound like the case where there's a cap for number of documents? Also for peersync, can I find some intro online? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Tlog-vs-buffer-softcommit-tp4000330p4000503.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Tlog vs. buffer + softcommit.
I remember I did set the 15sec autocommit and still saw the Tlogs growing unboundedly. But sounds like theoretically it should not if I index in a constant rate. I'll probably try it again sometime. For the peersync, I think solr cloud now uses push-replication over pull. Hmm, it makes sense to keep an amount of Tlogs for peers to sync up.

Solr4.0 Partially update document
Hi,
Several days ago I came across some solrj test code on partially updating
document field values. Sadly I forgot where that was. In Solr 4.0, "/update"
is able to take in document id and fields as hashmaps like
"id": "doc1"
"field1": {"set":"new_value"}
Just trying to figure out what's the solrj client code that does this.
Thanks for any help on this,
Bing

Getting Suggestions without Search Results
Hi, I'm having a spell check component that does auto-complete suggestions. It is part of "last-components" of my /select search handler. So apart from normal search results I also get a list of suggestions. Now I want to split things up. Is there a way that I can only get suggestions of a query without getting the normal search results? I may need to create a new handler for this. Can anyone please give me some ideas on that?

Re: Indexing thousands file on solr
You may write a client using solrj and loop through all files in that folder.
Something like,
ContentStreamUpdateRequest up = new
ContentStreamUpdateRequest("/update/extract");
up.addFile(new File(fileLocation), null);
ModifiableSolrParams p = new ModifiableSolrParams();
p.add("literal.id", str);
...
up.setParams(p);
server.request(up);

Re: Are there any comparisons of Elastic Search specifically with SOLR 4?
Most of existing comparisons were done on Solr3.x or earlier against ES. After Solr4 added those cloud concepts similar to ES's, there are really less differences. Solr is more heavier loaded and was not designed for maximize elasticity In my opinion. It's not hard to decide which way to go as long as you have a preference on better scalability or better stability & online supports.

Send plain text file to solr for indexing
Hello, I used to use solrcell, which has built-in tika support to handle both extraction and indexing of raw documents. Now I got another text extraction provider to convert raw document to a plain text txt file so I want to let solr bypass that extraction phase. Is there a way I can send the plain txt file to solr to simply index that as a fulltext field without doing extraction on that file?

Re: Send plain text file to solr for indexing
So in order to use solrcell I'll have to add a number of dependent libraries, which is one of what I'm trying to avoid. The second thing is, solrcell still parses the plain text files and I don't want it to make any change to those of my exported files. Any ideas?

Re: Send plain text file to solr for indexing
Thanks Mr.Yagami. I'll look into that. Jack, for the latter two options, they both require reading the entire text file into memory, right?
