Hi all, Been a solr user for a while now, and now I need to add some functionality to solr for which I'm trying to write a custom QueryComponent. Couldn't get much help from websearch. So, turning to solr-user for help.
I'm implementing search functionality for (micro)blog aggregation. We use solr 1.4.1. In the current solr config, the title and content fields are both indexed and stored in solr. Storing takes up a lot of space, even with compression. I'd like to store the title and description field in solr in mysql and retrieve these fields in results from MySQL with an id lookup. Using the DataImportHandler won't work because we store just the title and content fields in MySQL. The rest of the fields are in solr itself. I wrote a custom component by extending QueryComponent, and overriding only the finishStage(ResponseBuilder) function where I try to retrieve the necessary records from MySQL. This is how the new QueryComponent is specified in solrconfig.xml <searchComponent name="query" class="org.apache.solr.handler.component.TestSolr" /> I see that the component is getting loaded from the solr debug output <lst name="prepare"> <double name="time">1.0</double> <lst name="org.apache.solr.handler.component.TestSolr"> <double name="time">0.0</double> </lst> ... But the strange thing is that the finishStage() function is not being called before returning results. What am I missing? Secondly, functions like ResponseBuilder._responseDocs are visible only in the package org.apache.solr.handler.component. How do I access the results in my package? If you folks can give me links to a wiki or some sample custom QueryComponent, that'll be great. -- Thanks in advance. Ishwar.
