I was going through some old emails on this topic. Rafael Rossini figured out how to run multiple indices on single instance of jetty but it has to be jetty plus. I guess jetty doesn't allow this? I suppose I can add additional jars and make it work but I haven't tried that. It'll always be much

Re[2]: multiple indices

Hello Mike, but it is still just an example application. I think this is a very modest statement. I'd like to say both solr (including the example) and jetty are production level software. I suppose many users, like me, will just take it and make minimum modification of the configs and use it

Hello Chris, With Solr 1.1, after I uncomment the logging portion of jetty.xml, jetty starts to write to log files. But that part of jetty.xml disappears in Solr 1.2, which uses a new version of Jetty. So, I still don't know how to enable Jetty logging in Solr 1.2. (The query log works, not the

It happened twice in the past few days that the solr instance stopped responding (the admin page does not load) while the process was still running. I'd like to find out what's causing this. I notice that I can change logger level from admin page but I didn't figure out where the log files are.

Re[2]: Where are the log files...

Yeah, I'm running 1.1 with jetty. But I didn't find *.log in the whole solr directory. Is jetty putting the log files outside the directory? what version of solr/container are you running? this sounds similar to what people running solr 1.1 with the jetty include in that example... Jack

Re: Solr 1.2 released

Hello Yonik, This is great news. Will it be a drop-in replacement for 1.1? I.e., do I need to make any changes other than replacing the jar files? I suppose the index files will still be good. Are 1.2 schema files and config files compatible with those of 1.1? -- Best regards, Jack Thursday,

Multiple doc types in schema

As far as I understand, I can put multiple doc types in the same index, for example, web pages, images, products, etc. In order to do so, I think I need to do the following: - have a doctype field (not necessary but nice to have) - add all possible fields of all doc types in schema - when

Feature Request: Multiple default search fields

The default search field is really handy. It helps simplify the query, and thus simplify the application using solr. My understand is that solr only allows one default search field. It would be useful to allow multiple default fields, and maybe also specify a global field boost in the schema

The Python output uses nested dictionaries for facet counts. I read it online that Python dictionaries do not preserve order. So when a string is eval()'d, the sorted order is lost in the generated Python object. Is it a good idea to use list to wrap around the dictionary? This is only needed for

Re[4]: Things are not quite stable...

That is understood. For people who are not familiar with Java servlet containers, like myself, the embedded web server takes the least effort to set up. And jetty is supposed be a production quality quality package, it'll be great that the default package with jetty can be used for production.

Python utilities for solr?
