I've begun tinkering with MLT using the standard request handler. The Wiki also suggests using the MoreLikeThis handler directly, but apparently, this is not in the default configuration (as I recall, I haven't removed anything from solrconfig.xml as shipped). For example: http://devsolr03:8983/solr/primary/mlt?q=id:3197684&fl=id,Name,Score&mlt=true&mlt.fl=Name yields 'The requested resource is not available'.
I tried adding this to my solrconfig.xml: <searchComponent name="mlt" class="org.apache.solr.handler.component.MoreLikeThisComponent" /> <requestHandler name="/mlt" class="org.apache.solr.handler.component.MoreLikeThisComponent"> <arr name="components"> <str>mlt</str> </arr> </requestHandler> but ends up returning a 500 error on a core reload. What is an appropriate configuration entry for the MLT handler?
