Luc Vanlerberghe commented on SOLR-6070: ---------------------------------------- I also tried using different highlighters for two different requestHandlers. It turns out that as soon as a HighlightComponent is defined in the solrConfig.xml it is automatically also used as the default HighlightComponent. i.e: If you define a highlight component as a searchComponent with name "customHighlighter", it will automatically be used for the name "hightlight" as well. A workaround is to define the default highlighter explicitly *after* your definition with the default "highlight" name like this: {code} <searchComponent class="solr.HighlightComponent" name="highlight"/> {code} The culprit is indeed in the loadSearchComponents method in SolrCore.java which special cases components that are instanceof HighlightComponent to automatically register using the "highlight" name as well. {code} for (String name : searchComponents.keySet()) { if (searchComponents.isLoaded(name) && searchComponents.get(name) instanceof HighlightComponent) { if (!HighlightComponent.COMPONENT_NAME.equals(name)) { searchComponents.put(HighlightComponent.COMPONENT_NAME, searchComponents.getRegistry().get(name)); } break; } } {code} This code was introduced as part of SOLR-1696 probably to maintain backwards compatibility and still persists today (see the commits for SOLR-7073 where it was updated but not removed) I would be strongly in favor of removing this special case for HighlighterComponent (perhaps depending on the luceneMatchVersion of the solrconfig.xml file) As a minimum, it should be mentioned in the docs for solrconfig.xml somewhere > Cannot use multiple highlighting components in a single solrconfig > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SOLR-6070 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6070 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Bug > Components: highlighter > Affects Versions: 4.7.2, 4.8 > Reporter: Elaine Cario > Labels: highlighting > > I'm trying to use both the PostingsHighlighter and the FastVectorHighlighter > in the same solrconfig (selection driven by different request handlers), but > once I define 2 search components in the config, it always picks the Postings > Highlighter (even if I never reference it in any request handler). > I think the culprit is some specific code in SolrCore.loadSearchComponents(), > which overwrites the "highlighting" component with the contents of the > "postingshighlight" component - so the components map has 2 entries, but they > both point to the same highlighting class (the PostingsHighlighter). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
