Hoss Man commented on SOLR-3619:
--------------------------------
I started reading through this, and then got bogged down, and didn't have the
energy to keep going.
So i'm just going to point out the suggestion i made a while back in SOLR-3259
but never got any feedback on...
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3259?focusedCommentId=13234012&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13234012
In summary...
* rename example to server
* make .../solr/collection1 a super generic kitchen-sink set of configs
** include every imaginable field type and dynamicField, and a super generic
set of explicit fields
** this would be the recomended starting point for all new users
** this collection would work out of the box when running "java -jar start.jar"
** this collection would come with no sample data
* make a bunch of .../solr/example-collections/\* directories
** ie: minimal tech-products, books, super-heroes, rss, etc...
** each of these collections would have scaled down configs, tailored to the
example use case, showing off just the fields/features that matter for the use
case
** each of these collections would either have an ./exampledocs directory, or a
DIH config for fetching some sample data
** these collections would not be enabled by default or even mentioned in the
solr.xml, but the wiki pages and tutorials that wanted to refer to them could
list the CoreAdmin CREATE url to start using them
...that way people who want to get started quickly with the "recomended server
setup" can just copy the "server" directory, and delete everything under
"example-collections". people can also look customize their solr/collection1
configs either by pruning, or by drawing inspiration from the special case
example stuff in the examples.
The basic migration would be something like...
{noformat}
mkdir solr/example/solr/example-collections
svn cp solr/example/solr/collection1
solr/example/solr/example-collections/tech-products
svn cp solr/example/solr/collection1 solr/example/solr/example-collections/books
# :TODO: edit solr/example/solr/example-collections/tech-products to prune it
down
# :TODO: edit solr/example/solr/collection1 to remove anything too product-ish
specific
# :TODO: edit solr/example/solr/example-collections/books to remove anything to
product-ish specific and make fields more 'book' specific
mkdir solr/example/solr/example-collections/books/exampledocs
mkdir solr/example/solr/example-collections/tech-products/exampledocs
svn mv solr/example/exampledocs/books.*
solr/example/solr/example-collections/books/exampledocs
svn mv solr/example/exampledocs/*.xml
solr/example/solr/example-collections/tech-products/exampledocs
svn mv solr/example/exampledocs/* solr/example
svn mv solr/example/example-DIH/solr/rss
solr/example/solr/example-collections/dih-rss-crawling
svn mv solr/example/example-DIH/solr/db
solr/example/solr/example-collections/dih-db-crawling
svn mv solr/example/example-DIH/solr/mail
solr/example/solr/example-collections/dih-mail-crawling
svn mv solr/example/example-DIH/solr/mail
solr/example/solr/example-collections/dih-tika-crawling
svn rm solr/example/multicore # no longer needed, everything else is already a
multicore example
# :TODO: add a solr/example/solr/example-collections/minimal
# :TODO: update example tests to CREATE every example-collection and index some
data.
svn mv example server # since that's what people seen to want
