Hi, I’ve recently been using the dataimport handler to import records from a database into a Solr cloud collection with multiple shards. I have 6 dataimport handlers configured on 6 different paths all running simultaneously against the same DB. I’ve noticed that when I do this I often get “idle” status from the DIH even when the import is still running. The percentage of the time I get an “idle” response seems proportional to the number of shards. I.e., with 1 shard it always shows me non-idle status, with 2 shards I see idle about half the time I check the status, with 96 shards it seems to be showing idle almost all the time. I can see the size of each shard increasing, so I’m sure the import is still going.
I recently switched from 6.1 to 7.1 and I don’t remember this happening in 6.1. Does anyone know why the DIH would report idle when it’s running? e.g.: curl http://myserver:8983/solr/collection/dataimport6 { "responseHeader":{ "status":0, "QTime":0}, "initArgs":[ "defaults",[ "config","data-config6.xml"]], "status":"idle", "importResponse":"", "statusMessages":{}} Thanks, Sarah
