overwrite document fails if Solr index is not optimized
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-1949
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1949
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Components: update
Affects Versions: 1.4
Environment: linux centos
Reporter: Miguel B.
Scenario:
- Solr 1.4 with multicore
- We have a set of 5.000 source documents that we want to index.
- We send these set to Solr by SolrJ API and they are added correctly. We have
field ID as string and uniqueKey, so the update operation overwite documents
with the same ID. The result is 4500 unique documents in Solr. Also all
documents have an index field that contains the source repository of each
document, we need it because we want to index another sources.
- After add operation, we send optimization.
All works fine at this point. Solr have 4.500 documents at Solr core (and
4.500 max documents too).
Now these 5.000 sources documents are updated by users, and a set of them are
deleted (supose, 1000). So, now we want to update our Solr index with these
change (unfortunately our repository doesn't support an incremental approach),
the operations are:
- At index Solr, delete documents by query (by the field that contains
document source repository). We use deleteByQuery and commit SolrJ operations.
- At this point Solr core have 0 documents (but 4.500 max documents,
important!!!)
- Now we add to Solr the new version of source documents (4000). Remember
that documents don't have unique identifiers, supose that unique items are
3000. So when add operation finish (after commit sended) Solr index must have
3.000 unique items.
But the result isn't 3.000 unique items, we obtains a random results: 3000,
2980, 2976, etc. It's a serious problem because we lost documents.
We have a workaround. At these operations just after delete operation, we send
an optimization to Solr (maxDocuments are updated). After this, we send new
documents. By this way the result is always fine.
In our tests, we can see that this issue is only when the new documents
overwrites documents that existed in solr.
Thanks!!
