Hi , I am trying to see how the External File Field functionality works.
In the "solrconfig.xml", I added below listeners. <listener event="newSearcher" class="org.apache.solr.schema. ExternalFileFieldReloader"/> <listener event="firstSearcher" class="org.apache.solr.schema. ExternalFileFieldReloader"/> In the schema.xml i defined field type and field <fieldType name="testFieldlType" keyField="id" defVal="0" stored="false" indexed="false" class="solr.ExternalFileField" valType="pfloat"/> <field name="testField" type="testFieldlType" /> In my SOLR data directory(example\solr\collection1\data), I created a file "external_testField" After server start up, I am able to see the values using below URL: http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q={!func}testField&fl=id,score But, when i changed the values.while the server is up and when refreshed the above URL..I am not able to see updated values. I tried adding below request handler and invoked reload cache with URL http://localhost:8983/solr/reloadCache <requestHandler name="/reloadCache" class="org.apache.solr.search. function.FileFloatSource$ReloadCacheRequestHandler" /> I have also tried commit with below: http://localhost:8983/solr/update?commit=true Still, I am not able to see the updated values. Please let me know how to reload the external file field values when the server is up. Thanks, Ramana.
