hello there, I'm working on the development of a piece of code that integrates Solr with Vignette/OpenText Content Management, meaning Vignette content instances will be indexed in solr when published and deleted from solr when unpublished. I'm using solr 1.4, solrj and solr cell.I've implemented most of the code and I've ran into only a single issue so far: vignette content management supports the attachment of multiple binary documents (such as .doc, .pdf or .xls files) to a single content instance. I am mapping each content instance in Vignette to a solr document, but now I have a content instance in vignette with multiple binary files attached to it. So my question is: is it possible to have more than one binary file indexed into a single document in solr? I'm a beginner in solr, but from what I understood I have two options to index content using solrj: either to use UpdateRequest() and the add() method to add a SolrInputDocument to the request (in case the document doesn´t represent a binary file), or to use ContentStreamUpdateRequest() and the addFile() method to add a binary file to the content stream request. I don't see a way, though, to say "this document is comprised of two files, a word and a pdf, so index them as one document in solr using content1 and content2 fields - or merge their content into a single 'content' field)". I tried calling the addFile() twice (one call for each file) and no error but nothing getting indexed as well. ContentStreamUpdateRequest req = new ContentStreamUpdateRequest("/update/extract"); req.addFile(new File("file1.doc")); req.addFile(new File("file2.pdf")); req.setParam("literal.id", "multiple_files_test"); req.setParam("uprefix", "attr_"); req.setAction(AbstractUpdateRequest.ACTION.COMMIT, true, true); server.request(req); Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Write your own RequestHandler that uses the existing ExtractingRequestHandler to actually parse the streams, and then you combine the results arbitrarily in your handler, eventually sending an AddUpdateCommand to the update processor. You can obtain both the update processor and SolrCell instance from req.getCore().
