As far as I know, there is no way to do that out of the box. One would get the contents of each record with a normal Solr query, massage that into a Solr XML document, and use that to rebuild the index. Have not tried this, but it should be possible to get the desired output format with the XsltResponseWriter: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/XsltResponseWriter . All in all, it seems easier to me to just reindex from the base source, unless that is not possible for some reason. > Plan: I intend to message that xml dump (add the field + value that I need > in every doc's xml element) and then I should be able to push this dump back > to Solr to get data indexed again, I hope. Yes, that should be the general idea. Regards, Gora
