Re: Determining core name from a result?
A core is a Solr-controlled Lucene index. A shard is a core that one part of a distributed search. Shards: SHOULD have the same schema; you will be so sorry if you don't follow this MUST have the same unique id field, MUST be disjoint: no document can be in two different shards On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 8:04 AM, Mark Allan mark.al...@ed.ac.uk wrote: Oops!

I guess the easiest thing for me to do right now is to add another field in each document saying which core it was inserted into.

Re: Determining core name from a result?
How are you querying the core to begin with?

I've since seen a JIRA issue and documentation saying that multicore doesn't yet support mlt queries. Oops! Anyway, to get around this, I was planning to send the mlt query just to the specific core that a particular result came from, but I can't see a way to obtain that information from the results. If I figure it out by hand, I can get a MLT query to produce similar documents from that core which is probably good enough for the time being. Does anyone know how, after performing a multi-core search to retrieve a single document, I can then find out which core that result came from? I'm using Solr branch_3x.

Re: Determining core name from a result?
Hi Grant, Thanks for your reply. I'm using solrj to connect via http, which eventually sends this query http://localhost:8984/solr/core0/select/?q=id:022-80633905version=2start=0rows=1fl=*indent=onshards=localhost:8984/solr/core0,localhost:8984/solr/core1,localhost:8984/solr/core2,localhost:8984/solr/core3,localhost:8984/solr/core4 I subsequently send the MLT query which ends up looking like: http://localhost:8984/solr/core0/mlt/?q=id:022-80633905version=2start=0rows=5fl=idindent=onmlt.fl=descriptionmlt.match.include=falsemlt.minwl=3mlt.mintf=1mlt.mindf=1localhost:8984/solr/core0,localhost:8984/solr/core1,localhost:8984/solr/core2,localhost:8984/solr/core3,localhost:8984/solr/core4 If I run that query in a browser, the response returned is response responseHeader status0/status QTime3/QTime /responseHeader null name='response'/ /response Now, because I know the the document with id 022-80633905 went into core 1, I get the correct results if I change the first part of the URL to http://localhost:8984/solr/core1/mlt but doing so requires my app (not just me!) to know which core the result came from.
