Hi Rodrigo,
as I understand it, you know where the index is located.
If you can also find out where the configuration files are - if they are simply
accessible on the FS - you could start a regular SOLR server that simply uses
that config directory as SOLR_HOME (it will automatically use the correct data
dir, or you can make sure it does by providing that data directory when you
start the server).
To find the config files you would be looking for these files, ideally in the
following directory structure:
single index:
-conf/schema.xml
-conf/solrconfig.xml
multiple indexes (cores):
-solr.xml
-<core1>/
-conf/schema.xml
-conf/solrconfig.xml
-more core dirs …
There is no dedicated Wiki page describing the structure but this one might
help:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin
Also the examples in the sources reflect mostly the conventional structure
except that the directory "collection1" would be omitted:
https://builds.apache.org/job/Solr-trunk/ws/checkout/solr/example/solr/collection1/conf/
SOLR_HOME in this case is solr/ which contains conf/
If they would be structured in that way you could simply start a regular
solr.war as described in the SOLR documentation (e.g. via Jetty:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJetty), pointing it to that directory as
SOLR_HOME. You would then have a running SOLR Server that you could update the
way you suggested in your previous response.
When in doubt about the configuration, include the content of the <dataDir>
element in solrconfig.xml in the next posting. Also, describe the structure of
the config directory and which files it includes. It might help. Or describe
how the application initializes the embedded server.
If the files are not located in the FS but somewhere inside the application
where you cannot easily reference them when starting Jetty or if it is
configured programmatically, you would have to create your own configuration
directory by copying/creating them in the expected structure. The <dataDir>
entry in solrconfig.xml has to point to the same data directory as the embedded
solr server uses.
Hu, I hope I was clear enough. Please ask if not.
Cheers,
Chantal
