Hi,
I have a Solr core called plus-documents-dev whose solrconfig.xml contains this
stanza:
<requestHandler name="/update/extract"
class="solr.extraction.ExtractingRequestHandler$
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="lowernames">true</str>
<str name="fmap.content">content</str>
<str name="extraction.backend">tikaserver</str>
<str name="tikaserver.url">http://localhost:9998</str>
</lst>
</requestHandler>
However, when running the crawler, I can see this in the logs of Solr:
2026-01-28 10:20:36.696 INFO (qtp1991278377-35-null-13) [
x:plus-documents-dev] o.a.s.c.PluginBag Going to create a new requestHandler
with {type = requestHandler,name = /update/extract,class =
solr.extraction.ExtractingRequestHandler,attributes = {name=/update/extract,
class=solr.extraction.ExtractingRequestHandler, startup=lazy,
defaults={lowernames=true}},args = {startup=lazy, defaults={lowernames=true,
df=_text_}}}
2026-01-28 10:20:36.999 WARN (qtp1991278377-35-null-13) [
x:plus-documents-dev] o.a.s.D.Local Tika The 'local' extraction backend is
deprecated
And Tika does not log anything. So, it looks like Solr
*
Falls back to the deprecated in-process Tika extractor
*
And completely ignores what I have written in fmap.content
So, I assume Solr actually ignores the whole stanza.
Tika is listening properly:
# ss -tulpn | grep ':9998'
tcp LISTEN 0 50 *:9998 *:*
users:(("java",pid=1886775,fd=8))
