What does replicationFactor really do?

Hi, In 5.1, we are creating a collection using the Collections API with an initial replicationFactor of X. This value is then stored in the state.json file for that collection. If I try to issue ADDREPLICA on this cluster, it throws an error saying that there are no live nodes for additional

CREATE collection bug or feature?

I noticed that when I issue the CREATE collection command to the api, it does not automatically put a replica on every live node connected to zookeeper. So, for example, if I have 3 solr nodes connected to a zookeeper ensemble and create a collection like this:

Confusion about zkcli.sh and solr.war

I'm trying to use zkcli.sh to upload configurations to zookeeper and solr 5.1. It's throwing an error because it references webapps/solr.war which no longer exists. Do I have to build my own solr.war in order to use zkcli.sh? Please forgive me if I'm missing something here. Jim Musil

Possible to dump clusterstate, system stats into solr log?

Hi, Is it possible to periodically dump the cluster state contents (or system diagnostics) into the main solr log file? We have many security protocols in place that prevents us from running diagnostic requests directly to the solr boxes, but we do have access to the shipped logs. Thanks!

Re: SOLR retrieve data using URL

You don't have to use SolrJ. It's just a web request to a url, so just issue the request in Java and parse the JSON response. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7467568/parsing-json-from-url SolrJ does make it simpler, however. Jim On 2/2/15, 12:57 PM, mathewvino vinojmat...@hotmail.com wrote:

Re: Solr pattern tokenizer

It looks to me like you simply want to split the incoming query by the hyphen, so that it searches for exact codes like this ³CHQ PAID² ³INWARD TRAN² ³HDFC LTD². If that¹s true, I¹d either just change the query at the client to do what you want, or look into something like the PatternTokenizer:

Re: Indexed epoch time in Solr

If you are using the DataImportHandler, you can leverage on of the transformers, such as the DateFormatTransformer: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#DateFormatTransformer If you are updating documents directly you can define a regex transformation in your schema.xml:

Does CloudSolrServer hit zookeeper for every request?

I’m curious how CloudSolrServer works in practice. I understand that it gets the active solr nodes from zookeeper, but does it do this for every request? If it does hit zk for every request, that seems to put a lot of pressure on the zk ensemble. If it does NOT hit zk for every request, then
