newbie question on determining fieldtype

Hi, I have a question that I couldn't find the exact answer to. I have some fields that I want to add to my schema but will never be searched on. They are only used as additional information about a document when retrieved. They are integers, so should i just have the field be: I'm pre

specifying dataDir on launch of jetty

2007-01-08 Thread Brian Whitman
I would like to specify the solr dataDir on launch of jetty via java - jar start.jar instead of editing the solrconfig.xml before launching. I've tried java -Dsolr.dataDir=/x/y/z -jar start.jar but it seems to have no effect -- it starts with the solrconfig.xml default. Use case is that I wo

I don't think there is anyway to do what you describe at the moment ... SOLR-79 was an attempt at allowing variabes representing system properties to be used in the solrconfig.xml, but it hasn't been commited because it's an incomplete solution. what you could do, is create a seperate Solr "home"
