Noble Paul commented on SOLR-853: --------------------------------- bq.Once you decide you want a modular design, why limit it to storing in Lucene? It is possible , but DIH is designed to create target documents in a denormalized form (a single table) . This is quite unique to Lucene. While a few users might find it useful, it can't be generalized. The moment it is made possible , there may be requests for enhancements specific to DB . I do not wish to get into the domain of Kettle or Talend. But I shall leave the core generic enough to be used by others > Make DIH API friendly > --------------------- > > Key: SOLR-853 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-853 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib - DataImportHandler > Reporter: Noble Paul > Assignee: Shalin Shekhar Mangar > Attachments: SOLR-853.patch > > > DIH currently can only be run inside Solr.
