Hi Jacob, Thanks for the reply. I am still trying to nail down this problem with the best possible solution. Yeah I had thought about these 2 approaches but both of them are gonna make my indexing slower. Plus the fact that I will have atleast 5 rich text files associated with each document is not helping much either.
Anyways I will explore and see if I can come up with anything better (may be a separate index for rich text docs). Thanks, Venu ________________________________ From: Jacob Singh <jacobsi...@gmail.com> To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Saturday, April 4, 2009 9:59:13 PM Subject: Re: ExtractingRequestHandler Question Hi TIA, I have the same desired requirement. If you look up in the archives, you might find a similar thread between myself and the always super helpful Erik Hatcher. Basically, it can't be done (right now). You can however use the "ExtractOnly" request handler, and just get the extracted text back from solr, and then use xpath to get out the attributes and then add them to your XML you are sending. Not ideal because the file has to be transfered twice. The only other option is to send the file as per the instructions via POST with its attributes as POST fields. Keep in mind that Solr documents are immutable, which means they cannot change. When you update a document with the same primary key, it will simply delete the existing one and add the new one. hth, Jacob On Sat, Apr 4, 2009 at 5:59 AM, Venu Mittal <metale...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am using ExtractingRequestHandler to index rich text documents. > The way I am doing it is I get some data related to the document from > database and then post an xml (containing only this data ) to solr.
