You don't necessarily need these specific fields, unless these fields are present in your database table, or they are present in your data-config.xml file as field conversions. Whatever you end up with between your SELECT statement and data-config.xml is what you need in your schema. The only time a field with the exact name "id" is required is if you are using SolrCloud with a numShards value higher than 1 and you expect Solr to distribute your documents between your shards automatically. > Also its written: > > "Drop your JDBC driver jar file into the <solr-home>/lib directory." > > It's a Java application to interact with database.

Then which one is JDBC driver? It's not a full application, it's a Java library that translates between your database and the JDBC layer provided by Java. Your database vendor will likely have a JDBC driver available. The driver file that I use for connecting to a mysql database is named mysql-connector-java-5.1.26-bin.jar and is available from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ . If you are not using mysql, then you would need to find the driver jar for your database, and you would need to figure out the right driver name and URL information to use in dataconfig.xml. The solr/example/lib directory is for jetty, not Solr. You should have a solr.xml file that configures Solr. The place where that file lives is the solr home. Jars for Solr work best in ${solr.solr.home}/lib. The default solr.solr.home value is ./solr which is relative to the current working directory when Jetty (or another container) is started.
