Re: [SolrCloud] shard hash ranges changed after restoring backup
Hi Erick, I should add that our Solr cluster is in production and new documents are constantly indexed. The new cluster has been up for three weeks now. The problem was discovered only now because in our use case Atomic Updates and RealTime Gets are mostly performed on new documents. With almost absolute certainty there are already documents in the index that were distributed to the shards according to the new hash ranges. If we just changed the hash ranges in ZooKeeper, the index would still be in an inconsistent state. Is there any way to recover from this without having to re-index all documents?

[SolrCloud] shard hash ranges changed after restoring backup
Hi all, My team at work maintains a SolrCloud 5.3.2 cluster with multiple collections configured with sharding and replication. We recently backed up our Solr indexes using the built-in backup functionality. After the cluster was restored from the backup, we noticed that atomic updates of documents are failing occasionally with the error message 'missing required field [...]'. The exceptions are thrown on a host on which the document to be updated is not stored. From this we are deducing that there is a problem with finding the right host by the hash of the uniqueKey. Indeed, our investigations so far showed that for at least one collection in the new cluster, the shards have different hash ranges assigned now. We checked the hash ranges by querying /admin/collections?action=CLUSTERSTATUS. Find below the shard hash ranges of one collection that we debugged. Old cluster: shard1_0 8000 - aaa9 shard1_1 - d554 shard2_0 d555 - fffe shard2_1 - 2aa9 shard3_0 2aaa - 5554 shard3_1 - 7fff New cluster: shard1 8000 - aaa9 shard2 - d554 shard3 d555 - shard4 0 - 2aa9 shard5 2aaa - 5554 shard6 - 7fff Note that the shard names differ because the old cluster's shards were split. As you can see, the ranges of shard3 and shard4 differ from the old cluster. This change of hash ranges matches with the symptoms we are currently experiencing. We found this JIRA ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5750 in which David Smiley comments: shard hash ranges aren't restored; this error could be disasterous It seems that this is what happened to us. We would like to hear some suggestions on how we could recover from this problem. Best, Gary
Re: Can't index all docs in a local folder with DIH in Solr 5.0.0
Alex,
I've created JIRA ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7174
In response to your suggestions below:
1. No exceptions are reported, even with onError removed.
2. ProcessMonitor shows only the very first epub file is being read
(repeatedly)
3. I can repeat this on Ubuntu (14.04) by following the same steps.
4. Ticket raised (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7174)
Additionally (and I've added this on the ticket), if I change the
dataConfig to use FileDataSource and PlainTextEntityProcessor, and just
list *.txt files, it works!
dataConfig
dataSource type=FileDataSource name=bin /
document
entity name=files dataSource=null rootEntity=false
processor=FileListEntityProcessor
baseDir=c:/Users/gt/Documents/HackerMonthly/epub
fileName=.*txt
field column=fileAbsolutePath name=id /
field column=fileSize name=size /
field column=fileLastModified name=lastModified /
entity name=documentImport
processor=PlainTextEntityProcessor
url=${files.fileAbsolutePath} format=text
dataSource=bin
field column=plainText name=content/
/entity
/entity
/document
/dataConfig
So it's something related to BinFileDataSource and TikaEntityProcessor.
Thanks,
Gary.

Can't index all docs in a local folder with DIH in Solr 5.0.0
I can't get the FileListEntityProcessor and TikeEntityProcessor to
correctly add a Solr document for each epub file in my local directory.
I've just downloaded Solr 5.0.0, on a Windows 7 PC. I ran solr start
and then solr create -c hn2 to create a new core.
I want to index a load of epub files that I've got in a directory. So I
created a data-import.xml (in solr\hn2\conf):
dataConfig
dataSource type=BinFileDataSource name=bin /
document
entity name=files dataSource=null rootEntity=false
processor=FileListEntityProcessor
baseDir=c:/Users/gt/Documents/epub fileName=.*epub
onError=skip
recursive=true
field column=fileAbsolutePath name=id /
field column=fileSize name=size /
field column=fileLastModified name=lastModified /
entity name=documentImport processor=TikaEntityProcessor
url=${files.fileAbsolutePath} format=text
dataSource=bin onError=skip
field column=file name=fileName/
field column=Author name=author meta=true/
field column=title name=title meta=true/
field column=text name=content/
/entity
/entity
/document
/dataConfig
In my solrconfig.xml, I added a requestHandler entry to reference my
data-import.xml:
requestHandler name=/dataimport
class=org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.DataImportHandler
lst name=defaults
str name=configdata-import.xml/str
/lst
/requestHandler
I renamed managed-schema to schema.xml, and ensured the following doc
fields were setup:
field name=id type=string indexed=true stored=true
required=true multiValued=false /
field name=fileName type=string indexed=true stored=true /
field name=author type=string indexed=true stored=true /
field name=title type=string indexed=true stored=true /
field name=size type=long indexed=true stored=true /
field name=lastModified type=date indexed=true
stored=true /
field name=content type=text_en indexed=false
stored=true multiValued=false/
field name=text type=text_en indexed=true stored=false
multiValued=true/
copyField source=content dest=text/
I copied all the jars from dist and contrib\* into server\solr\lib.
Stopping and restarting solr then creates a new managed-schema file and
renames schema.xml to schema.xml.back
All good so far.
Now I go to the web admin for dataimport
(http://localhost:8983/solr/#/hn2/dataimport//dataimport) and try and
execute a full import.
But, the results show Requests: 0, Fetched: 58, Skipped: 0,
Processed:1 - ie. it only adds one document (the very first one) even
though it's iterated over 58!
No errors are reported in the logs.
I can search on the contents of that first epub document, so it's
extracting OK in Tika, but there's a problem somewhere in my config
that's causing only 1 document to be indexed in Solr.
Thanks for any assistance / pointers.
Regards,
Gary

Re: Can't index all docs in a local folder with DIH in Solr 5.0.0
Alex,
Thanks for the suggestions. It always just indexes 1 doc, regardless of
the first epub file it sees. Debug / verbose don't show anything
obvious to me. I can include the output here if you think it would help.
I tried using the SimplePostTool first ( *java
-Dtype=application/epub+zip
-Durl=http://localhost:8983/solr/hn1/update/extract -jar post.jar
\Users\gt\Documents\epub\*.epub) to index the docs and check the Tika
parsing and that works OK so I don't think it's the e*pubs.
I was trying to use DIH so that I could more easily specify the schema
fields and store content in the index in preparation for trying out the
search highlighting. Couldn't work out how to do that with post.jar
Thanks,
Gary

Try removing that first epub from the directory and rerunning. If you
now index 0 documents, then there is something unexpected about them
and DIH skips. If it indexes 1 document again but a different one,
then it is definitely something about the repeat logic.
Also, try running with debug and verbose modes and see if something
specific shows up.

Alex.

See: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat#Enabling_Longer_Query_Requests Enabling Longer Query Requests If you try to submit too long a GET query to Solr, then Tomcat will reject your HTTP request on the grounds that the HTTP header is too large; symptoms may include an HTTP 400 Bad Request error or (if you execute the query in a web browser) a blank browser window. If you need to enable longer queries, you can set the maxHttpHeaderSize attribute on the HTTP Connector element in your server.xml file. The default value is 4K. (See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/http.html) Even better would be to force SolrJ to use a POST request. In newer versions (4.1 and later) Solr sets the servlet container's POST buffer size and defaults it to 2MB. In older versions, you'd have to adjust this in your servlet container config, but the default should be considerably larger than the header buffer used for GET requests. I thought that SolrJ used POST by default, but after looking at the code, it seems that I was wrong. Here's how to send a POST query: response = server.query(query, METHOD.POST); The import required for this is: import org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrRequest.METHOD; Gary, if you can avoid it, you should not be creating a new HttpSolrServer object every time you make a query. It is completely thread-safe, so create a singleton and use it for all queries against the medline core. Thanks, Shawn
Re: doc cache issues... query-time way to bypass cache?
Sigh, user error. I missed this in the 4.1 release notes: Collections that do not specify numShards at collection creation time use custom sharding and default to the implicit router. Document updates received by a shard will be indexed to that shard, unless a *shard* parameter or document field names a different shard.

Re: overseer queue clogged
Thanks, Mark! The core node names in the solr.xml in solr4.2 is great! Maybe in 4.3 it can be supported via API? Also I am glad you mentioned in other post the chance to namespace zookeeper by adding a path to the end of the comma-delim zk hosts. That works out really well in our situation for having zk serve multiple amazon environments that go up and down independently of each other -- no issues w/ shared clusterstate.json or overseers.

Can you do a stack dump on the overseer and see if you see an Overseer
thread running perhaps? Or just post the results?
To recover, you should be able to just restart the Overseer node and have
someone else take over - they should pick up processing the queue.
Any logs you might be able to share could be useful too.

Re: overseer queue clogged
I will upgrade to 4.2 this weekend and see what happens. We are on ec2 and have had a few issues with hostnames with both zk and solr. (but in this case i haven't rebooted any instances either) it's relatively a pain to do the upgrade because we have a query/scorer fork of lucene along with supplemental jars, and zk cannot distribute binary jars via the config. we are also multi-collection per zk... i wish it didn't require a core always defined up front for the core admin? i would love to have an instance have no cores and then just create the core i need.. -g On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 7:14 PM, Mark Miller markrmil...@gmail.com wrote: On Mar 15, 2013, at 10:04 PM, Gary Yngve gary.yn...@gmail.com wrote: i think those followers are red from trying to forward requests to the overseer while it was being restarted. i guess i'll see if they become green over time. or i guess i can restart them one at a time..

If shardNum parm is set to 4 and all solr instances are started after each other it seems to work fine. What I wanted to do now is removing shardNum from JAVA_OPTS and defining each core with a shardId. Here is my current solr.xml of the first and second (in the second there is another instanceDir, the rest is the same) solr instance: Here is solr.xml of the third and fourth solr instance: But it seems that solr doesn't accept the shardId or omits it. What I really get is 2 collections each with 2 shards and 8 replicates (each solr instance 2) Either the functionality is not really clear to me or there has to be a config failure.

solr4.1 createNodeSet requires ip addresses?
Hi all, I've been unable to get the collections create API to work with createNodeSet containing hostnames, both localhost and external hostnames. I've only been able to get it working when using explicit IP addresses. It looks like zk stores the IP addresses in the clusterstate.json and live_nodes. Is it possible that Solr Cloud is not doing any hostname resolving but just looking for an explicit match with createNodeSet? This is kind of annoying, in that I am working with EC2 instances and consider it pretty lame to need to use elastic IPs for internal use. I'm hacking around it now (looking up the eth0 inet addr on each machine), but I'm not happy about it. Has anyone else found a better solution? The reason I want to specify explicit nodes for collections is so I can have just one zk ensemble managing collections across different environments that will go up and down independently of each other. Thanks, Gary

RE: dih groovy script question
Looks like some sort of foul-up with Groovy versions and Solr 3.6.1 as I had
to roll back to Groovy 1.7.10 to get this to work. Started with Groovy 2 and
then 1.8 before 1.7.10. What's odd is that I implemented the same calls made
in ScriptTransformer.java in a test program and they worked fine with all
Groovy versions. Can't imagine what the root cause might be -- Groovy
implements jsr223 differently in later versions? I suppose to find out I could
compile Solr with my jdk but time to march on. ;)

Stab in the dark... This looks like you're somehow getting the wrong Groovy
jars. Can you print out the Groovy version as a test? Perhaps you have one
groovy version in your command-line and copied a different version into the
libraries Solr knows about?
Because this looks like a pure Groovy error

Payloads slowing down add/delete doc
Hi, there In order to keep a DocID vs UID map, we added payload to a solr core. The search on UID is very fast but we get a problem with adding/deleting docs. Every time we commit an adding/deleting action, solr/lucene will take up to 30 seconds to complete. Without payload, a same action can be done in milliseconds. We do need real time commit. Here is the payload definition: fieldType name=payloadfld class=solr.TextField analyzer tokenizer class=org.apache.solr.analysis.KeywordTokenizerFactory/ filter class=org.apache.solr.analysis.DelimitedPayloadTokenFilterFactory encoder=integer/ /analyzer /fieldType field name=uid type=payloadfld indexed=true stored=false required=true/ Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated. Best Regards G. Y.
DIH doesn't handle bound namespaces?
I'm trying to import some MODS XML using DIH. The XML uses bound namespacing: mods xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; xmlns:mods=http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3; xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink; xmlns=http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3; xsi:schemaLocation=http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3 http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3/mods-3-4.xsd; version=3.4 mods:titleInfo mods:titleMalus domestica: Arnold/mods:title /mods:titleInfo /mods However, XPathEntityProcessor doesn't seem to handle xpaths of the type xpath=//mods:titleInfo/mods:title. If I remove the namespaces from the source XML: mods xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; xmlns:mods=http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3; xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink; xmlns=http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3; xsi:schemaLocation=http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3 http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3/mods-3-4.xsd; version=3.4 titleInfo titleMalus domestica: Arnold/title /titleInfo /mods then xpath=//titleInfo/title works just fine. Can anyone confirm that this is the case and, if so, recommend a solution? Thanks Gary Gary Moore Technical Lead LCA Digital Commons Project NAL/ARS/USDA

But similar to how you'd do it in your database, you need to find 'documents' that have a start date before your date in question, and an end date after your date in question, to find the ones whose range includes your date in question. Something like this: q=start_date:[* TO '2010-01-05'] AND end_date:['2010-01-05' TO *] Of course, you need to add on your restriction to just documents about 'John Smith', through another AND clause or an 'fq'. But in general, if you've got a db with this info already, and this is all you need, why not just use the db? Multi-hieararchy data like this is going to give you trouble in Solr eventually, you've got to arrange the solr indexes/schema to answer your questions, and eventually you're going to have two questions which require mutually incompatible schema to answer. An rdbms is a great general purpose question answering tool for structured data. lucene/Solr is a great indexing tool for text matching.

RE: how to run solr in apache server?
Solr only runs in a container. To make it appear as if Solr is running on httpd, Google 'httpd tomcat' for instructions on how to front tomcat with httpd mod_jk or mod_proxy. Our system admins prefer mod_proxy. Not sure why you'd need to front Solr with httpd since it's usually an application backend, e.g. a PHP application running on port 80 connects to Solr on port 8983.

Re: tika integration exception and other related queries
Naveen, Not sure our requirement matches yours, but one of the things we index is a comment item that can have one or more files attached to it. To index the whole thing as a single Solr document we create a zipfile containing a file with the comment details in it and any additional attached files. This is submitted to Solr as a TEXT field in an XML doc, along with other meta-data fields from the comment. In our schema the TEXT field is indexed but not stored, so when we search and get a match back it doesn't contain all of the contents from the attached files etc., only the stored fields in our schema. Admittedly, the user can therefore get back a comment match with no indication as to WHERE the match occurred (ie. was it in the meta-data or the contents of the attached files), but at the moment we're only interested in getting appropriate matches, not explaining where the match is. Hope that helps. Kind regards, Gary.

Re: Extracting contents of zipped files with Tika and Solr 1.4.1 (now Solr 3.1)
Jayendra, I cleared out my local repository, and replayed all of my steps from Friday and it now it works. The only difference (or the only one that's obvious to me) was that I applied the patch before doing a full compile/test/dist. But I assumed that given I was seeing my new log entries (from ExtractingDocumentLoader.java) I was running the correct code anyway. However, I'm very pleased that it's working now - I get the full contents of the zipped files indexed and not just the file names. Thank you again for your assistance, and the patch!

Re: Extracting contents of zipped files with Tika and Solr 1.4.1 (now Solr 3.1)
Hello again. Unfortunately, I'm still getting nowhere with this. I have checked-out the 3.1 source and applied Jayendra's patches (see below) and it still appears that the contents of the files in the zipfile are not being indexed, only the filenames of those contained files. I'm using a simple CURL invocation to test this: curl http://localhost:8983/solr/core0/update/extract?literal.docid=74fmap.content=textliteral.type=5; -F commit=true -F file=@solr1.zip solr1.zip contains two simple txt files (doc1.txt and doc2.txt). I'm expecting the contents of those txt files to be extracted from the zip and indexed, but this isn't happening - or at least, I don't get the desired result when I do a query afterwards. I do get a match if I search for either doc1.txt or doc2.txt, but not if I search for a word that appears in their contents. If I index one of the txt files (instead of the zipfile), I can query the content OK, so I'm assuming my query is sensible and matches the field specified on the CURL string (ie. text). I'm also happy that the Solr Cell content extraction is working because I can successfully index PDF, Word, etc. files. In a fit of desperation I have added log.info statements into the files referenced by Jayendra's patches (SOLR-2416 and SOLR-2332) and I see those in the log when I submit the zipfile with CURL, so I know I'm running those patched files in the build. If anyone can shed any light on what's happening here, I'd be very grateful. Thanks and kind regards, Gary.

Re: Extracting contents of zipped files with Tika and Solr 1.4.1
Can anyone shed any light on this, and whether it could be a config
issue? I'm now using the latest SVN trunk, which includes the Tika 0.8
jars.
When I send a ZIP file (containing two txt files, doc1.txt and doc2.txt)
to the ExtractingRequestHandler, I get the following log entry
(formatted for ease of reading) :
SolrInputDocument[
{
ignored_meta=ignored_meta(1.0)={
[stream_source_info, file, stream_content_type,
application/octet-stream, stream_size, 260, stream_name, solr1.zip,
Content-Type, application/zip]
},
ignored_=ignored_(1.0)={
[package-entry, package-entry]
},
ignored_stream_source_info=ignored_stream_source_info(1.0)={file},
ignored_stream_content_type=ignored_stream_content_type(1.0)={application/octet-stream},
ignored_stream_size=ignored_stream_size(1.0)={260},
ignored_stream_name=ignored_stream_name(1.0)={solr1.zip},
ignored_content_type=ignored_content_type(1.0)={application/zip},
docid=docid(1.0)={74},
type=type(1.0)={5},
text=text(1.0)={ doc2.txtdoc1.txt}
}
]
So, the data coming back from Tika when parsing a ZIP file does not
include the file contents, only the names of the files contained
therein. I've tried forcing stream.type=application/zip in the CURL
string, but that makes no difference. If I specify an invalid
stream.type then I get an exception response, so I know it's being used.
When I send one of those txt files individually to the
ExtractingRequestHandler, I get:
SolrInputDocument[
{
ignored_meta=ignored_meta(1.0)={
[stream_source_info, file, stream_content_type, text/plain,
stream_size, 30, Content-Encoding, ISO-8859-1, stream_name, doc1.txt]

I'm using the following requestHandler definition in solrconfig.xml:

!-- capture link hrefs but ignore div attributes --

/requestHandler
Is there any further debug or diagnostic I can get out of Tika to help
me work out why it's only returning the file names and not the file
contents when parsing a ZIP file?
Thanks and kind regards,
Gary.

Hi Gary,
The latest Solr Trunk was able to extract and index the contents of the zip
file using the ExtractingRequestHandler.
The snapshot of Trunk we worked upon had the Tika 0.8 snapshot jars and
worked pretty well.
Tested again with sample url and works fine -
curl
http://localhost:8080/solr/core0/update/extract?stream.file=C:/temp/extract/777045.zipliteral.id=777045literal.title=Testcommit=true
You would probably need to drill down to the Tika Jars and
the apache-solr-cell-4.0-dev.jar used for Rich documents indexing.

Extracting contents of zipped files with Tika and Solr 1.4.1
Hi, I posted a question in November last year about indexing content from multiple binary files into a single Solr document and Jayendra responded with a simple solution to zip them up and send that single file to Solr. I understand that the Tika 0.4 JARs supplied with Solr 1.4.1 don't currently allow this to work and only the file names of the zipped files are indexed (and not their contents). I've tried downloading and building the latest Tika (0.8) and replacing the tika-parsers and tika-core JARS in solr-root\contrib\extraction\lib but this still isn't indexing the file contents, and not doesn't even index the file names! Is there a version of Tika that works with the Solr 1.4.1 released distribution which does index the contents of the zipped files? Thanks and kind regards, Gary
Re: Extracting contents of zipped files with Tika and Solr 1.4.1
Thanks Erlend. Not used SVN before, but have managed to download and build latest trunk code. Now I'm getting an error when trying to access the admin page (via Jetty) because I specify HTMLStripStandardTokenizerFactory in my schema.xml, but this appears to be no-longer supplied as part of the build so I get an exception cos it can't find that class. I've checked the CHANGES.txt and found the following in the change list to 1.4.0 (!?) : 66. SOLR-1343: Added HTMLStripCharFilter and marked HTMLStripReader, HTMLStripWhitespaceTokenizerFactory and HTMLStripStandardTokenizerFactory deprecated. To strip HTML tags, HTMLStripCharFilter can be used with an arbitrary Tokenizer. (koji) Unfortunately, I can't seem to get that to work correctly. Does anyone have an example fieldType stanza (for schema.xml) for stripping out HTML ? Thanks and kind regards, Gary.

Re: Extracting contents of zipped files with Tika and Solr 1.4.1
OK, got past the schema.xml problem, but now I'm back to square one. I can index the contents of binary files (Word, PDF etc...), as well as text files, but it won't index the content of files inside a zip. As an example, I have two txt files - doc1.txt and doc2.txt. If I index either of them individually using: curl http://localhost:8983/solr/core0/update/extract?literal.docid=74fmap.content=textliteral.type=5; -F file=@doc1.txt and commit, Solr will index the contents and searches will match. If I zip those two files up into solr1.zip, and index that using: curl http://localhost:8983/solr/core0/update/extract?literal.docid=74fmap.content=textliteral.type=5; -F file=@solr1.zip and commit, the file names are indexed, but not their contents. I have checked that Tika can correctly process the zip file when used standalone with the tika-app jar - it outputs both the filenames and contents. Should I be able to index the contents of files stored in a zip by using extract ? Thanks and kind regards, Gary. On 25/01/2011 15:32, Gary Taylor wrote: Thanks Erlend.

Extracting and indexing content from multiple binary files into a single Solr document
Hi, We're trying to use Solr to replace a custom Lucene server. One requirement we have is to be able to index the content of multiple binary files into a single Solr document. For example, a uniquely named object in our app can have multiple attached-files (eg. Word, PDF etc.), and we want to index (but not store) the contents of those files in the single Solr doc for that named object. At the moment, we're issuing HTTP requests direct from ColdFusion and using the /update/extract servlet, but can only specify a single file on each request. Is the best way to achieve this to extend ExtractingRequestHandler to allow multiple binary files and thus specify our own RequestHandler, or would using the SolrJ interface directly be a better bet, or am I missing something fundamental? Thanks and regards, Gary.

Re: synonyms not working with copyfield
Hi Surajit I aint sure if this is any help, but I had a similar problem but with stop words, they were not working with dismax queries. Well to cut a long story it seems that all the querying fields need to be configured with stopwords. Maybe this has the similar affect with Synonyms confguration, thus your copyField should be defined as a type that is configured with the SynonymFilterFactory, just like person_name. You can find some guidance here: http://bibwild.wordpress.com/2010/04/14/solr-stop-wordsdismax-gotcha/ Gary

Hi Eric I catch the NPE in the NonAdjacentDocumentCollapser class and now it does return the data field collapsed. However I can not promise how accurate or correct this fix is becuase I have not got allot of time to study all the code. It would be best if some of the experts could give us a clue I made the change in solr src java org apache solr search fieldcollapse NonAdjacentDocumentCollapser.java, inner class FloatValueFieldComparator.
