Hmm. I guess the issue is that the handler is the one doing parsing, so the input document can be in XML or JSON or CSV. And MLT as a handler is then a competing end point.
So you actually want to use it later in a pipeline but with a document constructed on the fly and not stored. This may not exist right now. Though maybe some combination of DumpRequestHandler and MLT as a search component could do the trick? I would be curious to know if it can be made to work out of the box. Otherwise, patches are welcome.... But they should not expect just JSON input format. Regards, Alex On Tue, Sep 11, 2018, 4:57 PM Matt Work Coarr, <mattcoarr.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Alex.
