Solr example

This directory contains Solr examples. Each example is contained in a separate directory. To run a specific example, do:

  bin/solr -e <EXAMPLE> where <EXAMPLE> is one of:
  
    cloud        : SolrCloud example
    dih          : Data Import Handler (rdbms, mail, atom, tika)
    schemaless   : Schema-less example (schema is inferred from data during indexing)
    techproducts : Kitchen sink example providing comprehensive examples of Solr features

For instance, if you want to run the Solr Data Import Handler example, do:

  bin/solr -e dih

To see all the options available when starting Solr:

  bin/solr start -help

After starting a Solr example, direct your Web browser to:

  http://localhost:8983/solr/

To add documents to the index, use bin/post, for example:

     bin/post -c techproducts example/exampledocs/*.xml

(where "techproducts" is the Solr core name)

Notes About These Examples

References to Jar Files Outside This Directory

Various example SolrHome dirs contained in this directory may use "" statements in the solrconfig.xml file to reference plugin jars outside of this directory for loading "contrib" plugins via relative paths.

If you make a copy of this example server and wish to use the ExtractingRequestHandler (SolrCell), DataImportHandler (DIH), the clustering component, or any other modules in "contrib", you will need to copy the required jars or update the paths to those jars in your solrconfig.xml.

Logging

By default, Jetty & Solr will log to the console and logs/solr.log. This can be convenient when first getting started, but eventually you will want to log just to a file. To configure logging, edit the log4j2.xml file in ".../server/resources". It is also possible to setup log4j or other popular logging frameworks.
