Thanks, I think part of my issue may be I am misunderstanding how to use the entity and field tags to import data in a particular format and am looking for a few more examples.
Lets say I have a database table with 2 columns that contain metadata fields and values, and would like to import this into Solr and keep the pairs together, an example database table follows consisting of two columns (String), one containing metadata names and the other metadata values (col names: metadata_name, metadata_value in this example). There may be multiple records for a name. The set of potential metadata_names is unknown, it could be anything. metadata_name ..... metadata_value ===========........============== title blah blah subject some subject subject another subject name some name What is the proper way to import these and keep the name/value pairs intact. I am seeing the following after import: <arr name="metadata_name_s"> <str>title</str> <str>subject</str> <str>name</str> </arr> − <arr name="metadata_value_s"> <str>blah blah</str> <str>some subject</str> <str>another subject</str> <str>some name</str> </arr> Ideally, the end goal would be something like below: <arr name="title_s"> <str>some subject</str> </arr> <arr name="name_s"> <str>some name</str> </arr> etc.... It feels like I am missing something obvious and this would be a common structure for imports. >> Just starting with DataImportHandler and had a few simple questions. >> >> Is there a location for more in depth documentation other than >> http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler? >> >> >Umm, no, but let us know what is not covered well and it can be added. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Some-basic-DataImportHandler-questions-tp1010291p1024205.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
