OK... Im a Windows guy who is being forced to learn SoLR on Ubuntu for the whole organizations. I fancy myself somewhat capable of following directions but this Solr concept is puzzling.
Here is what I think i know. Solr houses indexes. Each index record (usually based on a document) need to be added to the Solr collection. This seems fairly simple and I can run the post.jar and various xml and json files FROM THE UBUNTU TERMINAL. I doubt you have to use the Terminal every time you want to add an index. My guess is that you have to feed Solr from third party systems using the http: update url into the solr server. Is this correct? Lets say i have a (god forbid) a sharepoint site and I want to move all the document text and document metadata into Solr. Do I simply run a script (say in .NET or Coldfusion) that loops through the SP doc records and sends out the http update url to Solr for each doc??? How does Tika fit in ? thanks steve -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Newbie-to-SOLR-with-ridiculously-simple-questions-tp4105788.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
