Thanks Kai for sharing this. Ian encountered the same problem so marking him in the mail too. ________________________________________ From: Kai Gülzau [kguel...@novomind.com] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 6:55 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: RE: DIH Strange Problem
Do you use Java 6 update 29? There is a known issue with the latest mssql driver: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jdbcteam/archive/2011/11/07/supported-java-versions-november-2011.aspx "In addition, there are known connection failure issues with Java 6 update 29, and the developer preview (non production) versions of Java 6 update 30 and Java 6 update 30 build 12. We are in contact with Java on these issues and we will update this blog once we have more information." Should work with update 28.

Here was the error!! The Driver we were using was Microsoft Type 4 JDBC driver for SQL Server. I downloaded another driver called jTDS jDBC driver and installed that. Problem got fixed!!! So please follow the following steps: 1. Download jTDS jDBC driver from http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ 2. Put the driver jar file into your Solr/lib directory where you had put Microsoft JDBC driver. 3. In the data-config.xml use this statement: driver="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver" 4. Also in data-config.xml mention url like this: "url="jdbc:jTDS:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=XXX" 5. Now run your indexing. It should solve the problem. -----Original Message----- From: Husain, Yavar Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2011 12:38 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org; Shawn Heisey Subject: RE: DIH Strange Problem Hi Thanks for your replies. I carried out these 2 steps (it did not solve my problem): 1. I tried setting responseBuffering to adaptive. Did not work. 2. For checking Database connection I wrote a simple java program to connect to database and fetch some results with the same driver that I use for solr. It worked. So it does not seem to be a problem with the connection. Now I am stuck where Tomcat log says: "Creating a connection for entity ....." and does nothing, I mean after this log we usually get the "getConnection() took x millisecond" however I dont get that ,I can just see the time moving with no records getting fetched. Original Problem listed again: I am using Solr 1.4.1 on Windows/MS SQL Server and am using DIH for importing data. Indexing and all was working perfectly fine. However today when I started full indexing again, Solr halts/stucks at the line "Creating a connection for entity........." There are no further messages after that. I can see that DIH is busy and on the DIH console I can see "A command is still running", I can also see total rows fetched = 0 and total request made to datasource = 1 and time is increasing however it is not doing anything. This is the exact configuration that worked for me. I am not really able to understand the problem here. Also in the index directory where I am storing the index there are just 3 files: 2 segment files + 1 lucene*****-write.lock file. ... data-config.xml: .... <dataSource type="JdbcDataSource" driver="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" url="jdbc:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433;databaseName=SampleOrders" user="testUser" password="password"/> <document> ..... .....

There's a link on the wiki specifically for this problem on MS SQL server. Hopefully it's that, but Chantal could be right too. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandlerFaq Here's the URL to the specific paragraph, but it's likely that it won't survive the email trip in a clickable form: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandlerFaq#I.27m_using_DataImportHandler_with_MS_SQL_Server_database_with_sqljdbc_driver._DataImportHandler_is_going_out_of_memory._I_tried_adjustng_the_batchSize_values_but_they_don.27t_seem_to_make_any_difference._How_do_I_fix_this.3F Thanks, Shawn ****************************************************************************************** This message may contain confidential or proprietary information intended only for the use of the addressee(s) named above or may contain information that is legally privileged.
