Anurag,
Just answering your three emails on two emailing lists. You seem to
want to jump into the middle of Solr and then dig your way both ways.
So, your question here is a mix of very basic and unnecessarily
complicated.
Specifically, you seem to be missing a link between schema.xml and
solrconfig.xml. You need to look at both of the files if you are
actually trying to understand what's going on, as opposed to just
changing one thing to get from one point to another.
Both files for multiple examples that come with Solr are heavily
documented and give you MORE than you want to know. In fact, half of
the solrconfig.xml is a bit scary to me right now and I wrote a book
on Solr. But it has the answers and if you just read it, you will know
better questions to ask.
Regards,
Alex.
P.s. Feel free to ignore this, we'll help you anyway. It's just that
the above might be MORE efficient than the strategy you selected so
far.
