Hi Everyone,
I'm really hating SOLR. All I want is to define a text field that data
can be indexed into and which is searchable. Should be super simple. But
I run into issue after issue. I'm running SOLR 7.3 because it's compatible
with the version of NUTCH I'm running.
The docs say that SOLR ships with a default TextField but that seems to be
wrong. I define:
<field name="metadata.myfield" type="TextField" stored="true"
indexed="true"/>
The above throws error "Unable to create core [MyCore] Caused by: Unknown
fieldType 'TextField' specified on field metadata.myfield"
Then I try:
<field name="metadata.myfield" type="Text" stored="true" indexed="true"/>
Same error.
Then as a workaround I got into defining a "Text_General" field because I
couldn't get Text to work. Text_General extends the Text field which seems
to indicate there should be a text field built into SOLR!!!!!
Text_General causes a new set of problems. How does one go about using
the supposed default text field available in SOLR?
When I defined Text_General:
<updateProcessor class="solr.AddSchemaFieldsUpdateProcessorFactory"
name="add-schema-fields">
<lst name="typeMapping">
<str name="valueClass">java.lang.String</str>
<str name="fieldType">text_general</str>
<bool name="default">true</bool>
</lst>
Text_General with type=string complains when I try and insert data that has
characters and numbers:
java.lang.Exception:
org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrClient$RemoteSolrException: Error
from server at http://127.0.0.1:xxxx/solr/MyCore: ERROR: [doc=
http://xxx.xxx.com/services/mydocument.htm] Error adding field
'metatag.myfield'='15c0188' msg=For input string: "15c0188"
I'm very frustrated. If anyone is able to help sort this out I would
really appreciate it! What do I need to do to be able to define a simple
text field that is stored and searchable?
Thank you!
