The wiki here indicates that you can specify "entity" more than once on the request and it will run multiple entities at the same time, in the same handler: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#Commands
But I can't say for sure that this actually works! Having been in the DIH code, I would think such a feature is buggy at best, if it works at all. But if you try it let us know how it works for you. Also, if anyone else out there is using multiple "entity" parameters to get entities running in parallel, I'd be interested in hearing about it. But the approach taken in the link Jack sites below does work. Its a pain to set it up though.

So you have to plan in advance how many DIH instances you want to run, which config files they'll use, etc.” See: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Multiple-dataimport-processes-to-same-core-td3645525.html -- Jack Krupansky From: Sergio Martín Cantero<mailto:sergio.mar...@playence.com> Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 11:07 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org<mailto:solr-user@lucene.apache.org> Cc: Jack Krupansky<mailto:j...@basetechnology.com> Subject: Re: Use DIH with more than one entity at the same time Thanks Jack, but that´s not what I want. I don´t want multiple entities in one invocation, but two simultaneous invocations of the DIH with different entities. Thanks.

From the doc: "Multiple 'entity' parameters can be passed on to run multiple entities at once. If nothing is passed, all entities are executed." See: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler But that is one invocation of DIH, not two separate updates as you tried. -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: Sergio Martín Cantero Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 10:46 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org<mailto:solr-user@lucene.apache.org> Subject: Use DIH with more than one entity at the same time I´m new to this list, so... Hello everybody. I´m trying to run the DIH with more than one entity at the same time, but only the first entity I call is being indexed. The other doesn´t get any response. For example: First call: http://localhost:8080/solr/dataimport?command=full-import&clean=false&entity=users Before the indexing has finished, I call: http://localhost:8080/solr/dataimport?command=full-import&clean=false&entity=products The second call doesn´t have any effedt, and the products are not indexed at all. Isn´t it possible to run more than one full import for different entities at the same time? Thanks a lot for your help Sergio
