I am doing an experiment in teaching about Solr. I've created a Solr puzzle and want to know whether people would find it useful to do more of these. My mailing list have seen this already, but I would love the feedback from a wider Solr audience as well. Privately or on the list.
The - first - puzzle is deceptively simple: ---------- Given the following sequence of commands (for Solr 5.5 or 6.0): 1. bin/solr create_core -c puzzle_date 2. bin/post -c puzzle_date -type text/csv -d $'today\n2016-04-08' 3. curl http://localhost:8983/solr/puzzle_date/select?q=Fri ---------- Would the result be: 1. Error in the command 1 for not providing a configuration directory 2. Error in the command 2 for missing a uniqueKey field 3. Error in the command 2 due to an incorrect date format 4. No records in the command 3 output 5. One record in the command 3 output ---------- You can find the answer and full in-depth explanation at: http://blog.outerthoughts.com/2016/04/solr-5-puzzle-magic-date-answer/ Again, what I am trying to understand is whether that's somehow useful to people and worth making time to create and write-up. Any feedback would be appreciated. Regards, Alex. ---- Newsletter and resources for Solr beginners and intermediates: http://www.solr-start.com/
