Dear wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page "Solr Wiki" for change notification.
The page DataImportHandler has been reverted to revision 218 by ShalinMangar. The comment on this change is: MoinMoin ate some content. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler?action=diff&rev1=219&rev2=220 -------------------------------------------------- * '''`newerThan`''' : A date param . Use the format (`yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss`) . It can also be a datemath string eg: ('NOW-3DAYS'). The single quote is necessary . Or it can be a valid variableresolver format like (${var.name}) * '''`olderThan`''' : A date param . Same rules as above * '''`rootEntity`''' :It must be false for this (Unless you wish to just index filenames) An entity directly under the <document> is a root entity. That means that for each row emitted by the root entity one document is created in Solr/Lucene. But as in this case we do not wish to make one document per file. We wish to make one document per row emitted by the following entity 'x'. Because the entity 'f' has rootEntity=false the entity directly under it becomes a root entity automatically and each row emitted by that becomes a document. - 3E> + * '''`dataSource`''' :If you use Solr1.3 It must be set to "null" because this does not use any DataSource. No need to specify that in Solr1.4 .It just means that we won't create a DataSource instance. (In most of the cases there is only one !DataSource (A !JdbcDataSource) and all entities just use them. In case of !FileListEntityProcessor a !DataSource is not necessary.) + + example: + {{{ + <dataConfig> + <dataSource type="FileDataSource" /> + <document> + <entity name="f" processor="FileListEntityProcessor" baseDir="/some/path/to/files" fileName=".*xml" newerThan="'NOW-3DAYS'" recursive="true" rootEntity="false" dataSource="null"> + <entity name="x" processor="XPathEntityProcessor" forEach="/the/record/xpath" url="${f.fileAbsolutePath}"> + <field column="full_name" xpath="/field/xpath"/> + </entity> + </entity> + </document> + </dataConfig> + }}} + Do not miss the `rootEntity` attribute. The implicit fields generated by the !FileListEntityProcessor are `fileAbsolutePath, fileSize, fileLastModified, fileName` and these are available for use within the entity X as shown above. It should be noted that !FileListEntityProcessor returns a list of pathnames and that the subsequent entity must use the !FileDataSource to fetch the files content. + + === CachedSqlEntityProcessor === + <<Anchor(cached)>> + + This is an extension of the !SqlEntityProcessor. This !EntityProcessor helps reduce the no: of DB queries executed by caching the rows. It does not help to use it in the root most entity because only one sql is run for the entity. + + Example 1. + {{{ + <entity name="x" query="select * from x"> + <entity name="y" query="select * from y where xid=${x.id}" processor="CachedSqlEntityProcessor"> + </entity> + <entity> + }}} + + The usage is exactly same as the other one. When a query is run the results are stored and if the same query is run again it is fetched from the cache and returned + + Example 2: + {{{ + <entity name="x" query="select * from x"> + <entity name="y" query="select * from y" processor="CachedSqlEntityProcessor" where="xid=x.id"> + </entity> + <entity> + }}} + + The difference with the previous one is the 'where' attribute. In this case the query fetches all the rows from the table and stores all the rows in the cache. The magic is in the 'where' value. The cache stores the values with the 'xid' value in 'y' as the key. The value for 'x.id' is evaluated every time the entity has to be run and the value is looked up in the cache an the rows are returned. + + In the where the lhs (the part before '=') is the column in y and the rhs (the part after '=') is the value to be computed for looking up the cache. + + === PlainTextEntityProcessor === + <<Anchor(plaintext)>> + <!> [[Solr1.4]] + + This !EntityProcessor reads all content from the data source into an single implicit field called 'plainText'. The content is not parsed in any way, however you may add transformers to manipulate the data within 'plainText' as needed or to create other additional fields. + + example: + {{{ + <entity processor="PlainTextEntityProcessor" name="x" url="http://abc.com/a.txt"; dataSource="data-source-name"> + <!-- copies the text to a field called 'text' in Solr--> + <field column="plainText" name="text"/> + </entity> + }}} + + Ensure that the dataSource is of type !DataSource<Reader> (!FileDataSource, URL!DataSource) + + === LineEntityProcessor === + <<Anchor(LineEntityProcessor)>> <!> [[Solr1.4]] This !EntityProcessor reads all content from the data source on a line by line basis, a field called 'rawLine' is returned for each line read.
