Hi. I'm trying to get Solr to index a database in which one column is a 
filename of a PDF document I'd like to index. My configuration looks like this:

<dataConfig>
  <dataSource name="ds-db" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" 
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/document_db" user="user" password="password" 
readOnly="true"/>
  <dataSource name="ds-file" type="BinFileDataSource"/>
  <document name="documents">
    <entity name="document" dataSource="ds-db" query="select * from documents">
      <entity processor="TikaEntityProcessor" 
url="/some/path/${document.filename}" dataSource="ds-file" format="text">
        <field column="text" />
      </entity>
    </entity>
  </document>
</dataConfig>

I'm using Solr from trunk (as of two days ago). The import process completes 
without errors, and it picks up the columns from the database, but not the 
content from the PDF file. It is definitely trying to access the PDF file, for 
if I give it an incorrect path name, it complains. It doesn't seem to be 
attempting to index the PDF, though, as it completes in about 40ms, whereas if 
I import the PDF via the ExtractingRequestHandler, it takes about 11 seconds to 
index it.

I've also tried the tika example in example-DIH and that doesn't seem to index 
anything, either. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just not working yet?

Cheers,

Brad
