Hi, I'm new to solr and my question might seems to be dumb. Please bear
with me.
In short, if a file (after indexed by solr) changed its name, could I only
update resourcename and keep all other information the same in the index? Or do
I have to delete it and then re-index the file?
Below are the detailed version of my question: My problem: I have many
(tens of thousands) files that are sort of messed up with file name/location:
(1) wrong file type in file name: for example, some files are pdf file but are
named as .txt. (2) wrong directory of file: a file named 001.pdf should be
under a specific folder, such as: abc/001.pdf. The "abc" could be found in
001.pdf. But now, this file might be placed under xyz/001.pdf. So, I would like
to relocate the file from xyz/001.pdf to abc/001.pdf.
I need to correct those errors and also being able to search the content of
those documents.
How I was trying to solve the issue using solr:(1) index all files(2) from
content_type and/or application_name, I could know the correct file type (pdf,
text etc.) and compare it with the resourcename. Found out those files that I
need to update.(3) query all "abc", "xyz" etc. and find out those files that
need to be relocated.(4) rename/relocate files from step (2) and (3)(5) update
solr index.
My question:I tried to use the solr UI to update resourcename. I was able
to do so but the problem is the id now has a new version that only contains
resourcename.
Here is how I made the update:
In the "Documents" page: Request-Handler: /updateDocument Type:
JSON:Document(s): {"id":"/testproject/abc/001.txt",
"resourcename":{"set":["/testproject/abc/001.pdf"]}}
After submission, and query/browse the file, the only thing left is
resourcename. All other information, such as content_type, created etc. are
gone. If I could not update the " resourcename" (and keep all other
information), it means that I either run a script to delete the document that I
renamed/relocated and re-index them, meaning that myscript will do: find the
file, rename/relocate, delete the original index, re-index/post the new file.
Is this the best approach?
Thanks!Nan
