The DataImportHandler is a toolkit in Solr. It has a few different kinds of plugins. It is very possible that you do not have to write any Java code.
If you have an unusual external data feed (database, file system, Amazon S3 buckets) then you would write a Datasource. The only examples are the source code in trunk/solr/contrib/dataimporthandler. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler On Fri, Jun 8, 2012 at 8:35 PM, ram anam <ram_a...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Eric, > I cannot disclose the data source which we are planning to index inside SOLR > as it is confidential.
