Hi,

I'm trying to use the streaming API via SolrJ but have some trouble with the documentation and samples. In the reference guide I found the below example in http://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/streaming-expressions.html. Problem is that "withStreamFunction" does not seem to exist. There is "withFunctionName", which would match the arguments but there is no documentation in the JavaDoc nor is the sample stating why I would need all those "with" calls if pretty much everything is also in the last "constructStream" method call. I was planning to retrieve a few fields for all documents in a collection but have trouble to figure out what is the correct way to do so. The documentation also uses "/export" and "/search", with little explanation on the differences. Would really appreciate a pointer to some simple samples.

The org.apache.solr.client.solrj.io package provides Java classes that compile streaming expressions into streaming API objects. These classes can be used to execute streaming expressions from inside a Java application. For example:

StreamFactory streamFactory = new StreamFactory().withCollectionZkHost("collection1", zkServer.getZkAddress())
    .withStreamFunction("search", CloudSolrStream.class)
    .withStreamFunction("unique", UniqueStream.class)
    .withStreamFunction("top", RankStream.class)
    .withStreamFunction("group", ReducerStream.class)
    .withStreamFunction("parallel", ParallelStream.class);

ParallelStream pstream = (ParallelStream)streamFactory.constructStream("parallel(collection1, group(search(collection1, q=\"*:*\", fl=\"id,a_s,a_i,a_f\", sort=\"a_s asc,a_f asc\", partitionKeys=\"a_s\"), by=\"a_s asc\"), workers=\"2\", zkHost=\""+zkHost+"\", sort=\"a_s asc\")");

regards,
Hendrik
