Hello SOLR experts,
I am new to solr as you will see from my problem. I just try to understand
how solr works. I use one core (BandW) on my locla machine and I use
javascript for my learning purpose.
I have a test schema.xml: with two fileds: id, title. I managed to run
queries with faceting, autocomplete, etc. In all cases I used Ajax post
method. For example my search was (searchWithSuggest.searchAjaxRequest is
an XMLHttpRequest object):
var s=document.getElementById(searchWithSuggest.inputBoxId).value;
var params='q='+s+'&start=0&rows=10';
a=searchWithSuggest.solrServer+'/query';
searchWithSuggest.searchAjaxRequest.open("POST",a, true);
searchWithSuggest.searchAjaxRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
searchWithSuggest.searchAjaxRequest.send(encodeURIComponent(params));
It worked fine. I thought that an xml update can work the same way so I
tried to add and index one new document by xml(a is an XMLHttpRequest
object):
a.open("POST","http://localhost:8983/solr/bandw/update",true);
a.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
a.send(encodeURIComponent("stream.body=<add commitWithin=5000><doc><field
name='id'>3222</field><field name='title'>Blade</field></doc></add>"));
I got a response with error: missing content stream.
I have changed only the a.open function call to this one:
a.open("POST","http://localhost:8983/solr/bandw/update?commit=true",true);
the rest of the did not change.
Finally, I got response with no error from SOLR. Later it turned out that
the new doc was not indexed at all.
My questions:
1. If I get no error from solr what is wrong with the second solution and
how can I fix it?
2. Is there any solution to put all the parameters to the a.send call as in
case of queries. I tried
a.send(encodeURIComponent("commit=true&stream.body=<add
commitWithin=5000><doc><field name='id'>3222</field><field
name='title'>Blade</field></doc></add>")); but it was not working.
3. Why 95% of the examples in SOLR wiki pages relates to curl. Is this the
most efficient alternative? Is there a "mapping" between a curl syntax and
the post request?
Best Regards,
Roland
