Hi Shalin, We just found that there is no limit on Solr side about the maximum boolean condition. We have set the <maxBooleanClauses>2048</maxBooleanClauses> and we are able to send about 1574 OR conditions. Over that limit, we are getting "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request".
You are correct, it's not a Solr issue, its due to HTTP GET is not being able to send such a large request. But now the question is, Solr only accepts request in url form not as request parameter or request object. That's the main issue. Hence we need to send the query in url form only. Can you please suggest, if you have tried the similar thing instead of passing as URL, instead passing as object or request entity using POST. Thanks, Dipanjan ________________________________ From: Shalin Shekhar Mangar <shalinman...@gmail.com> Reply-To: <solr-user@lucene.apache.org> Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:54:04 +0530 To: <solr-user@lucene.apache.org> Subject: Re: Help needed with Solr <maxBooleanClauses> On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 2:12 PM, dipanjan_pramanick < dipanjan_praman...@infosys.com> wrote: > > Its true that there is a design flaw, because of what we need to support a > huge list of OR conditions through Solr. > But still I would like to know if there is any other configuration other > than the one in solrConfig.xml, through which we can pass more than 1024 OR > conditions. > > <maxBooleanClauses>1024<maxBooleanClauses> > > > Regarding HTTP Post, in Solr 1.3, it is only accepts request in url form > not as request parameter or request object.

The problem here is that you may be exceeding the maximum allowed size of an HTTP GET request (is that 2KB?). You must use POST request to send such a huge query string. Again, it will help if you can post the complete stack trace of the error. -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar. **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
