Ahhh, OK. Sure, anything you store in Solr you can get back. The key is not Tika, but your schema.xml file, and setting 'stored="true" '
bq: So my question was if I can index the original doc via ExtractingRequestHandler in Solr AND get back the text output, in a single call. I know of now way to do this using Solr Cell. That said, you can always use SolrJ and Tika on the client to separate the Tika parsing from the indexing steps. Then you have all the parts available on the client to do whatever you want. Solr Cell is great for proof-of-concept, but for heavy-duty applications, you're offloading all the processing on the Solr server, which can be a problem. Here's a writeup describing how to use Tika independently of Solr while indexing data to Solr that might help: http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2012/02/14/indexing-with-solrj/ Hope that helps Erick On Sun, Apr 1, 2012 at 1:27 PM, <spr...@gmx.eu> wrote: > Hi Erik, > > I think we have some misunderstanding. > > I want to index the text of the docs in Solr (only indexed, NOT stored). > > But I want the text (Tika output) back for: > > * later faster reindexing (some text extraction like OCR takes really long) > * use the text for other processings > > The original doc is NOT stored in solr. > > > So my question was if I can index the original doc via > ExtractingRequestHandler in Solr AND get back the text output, in a single > call. > > AFAIK I can do it only in 2 calls: > > 1) ExtractingRequestHandler?ext.extract.only=true -> Text > 2) Index the text from 1) in solr > > > Thx > >> Yes, you can. but....
