Re: Calculating distances in Solr using longitude latitude
Re: your problems with JIRA I have no idea what caused it/what resolved it but I have had the same problem as you. Assuming, that is, that the problem that is occurring is when you click on a link to an issue, it instead takes you to https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa Or perhaps the page above it...I don't remember clearly any more. If you click Browse Project then navigate to Solr, and type the issue number in the quick search box, it should get you to the issue.

Re: Searching solr with a two word query

If you look at your output from debug, you see your query becomes: all_text:open +all_text:excel +presentation_id:294 +type:blob Note that all_text:open does not have a + sign, but all_text:excel has one. So all_text:open is not required, but all_text:excel is. I think this is because AND marks both of its operands as required. (which puts the + on +all_text:excel), but the open has no explicit op, so it uses OR, which marks that term as optional.

The queries have to run through all values for a field in order to calculate the sum, so it's not enough to just cache a few values.

Re: Null Pointer Exception while indexing
My guess would be that Jetty has some configuration somewhere that is telling it to use GCJ. Is it possible to completely remove GCJ from the system? Another possibility would be to uninstall Jetty, and then reinstall it, and hope that on the reinstall it would pick up on the OpenJDK. What distro of linux are you using?

Re: Problems indexing spatial field - undefined subField
While you have already solved your problem, my guess as to why it didn't work originally is that you probably didn't have a dynamicField name=*_latLon indexed=true stored=true / What subFieldType does is it registers a dynamicField for you. subFieldSuffix requires that you have already defined that dynamicField.

Re: how to deal with virtual collection in solr?
I don't know about the shards, etc. However I recently encountered that exception while indexing pdfs as well. The way that I resolved it was to upgrade to a nightly build of Solr. (You can find them https://hudson.apache.org/hudson/view/Solr/job/Solr-trunk/). The problem is that the version of Tika that 1.4.1 using is a very old version of Tika, which uses a old version of PDFBox to do its parsing. (You might be able to fix the problem just by replacing the Tika jars...however I don't know if there have been any API changes so I can't really suggest that.) We didn't upgrade to trunk in order for that functionality, but it was nice that it started working. (The PDFs we'll be indexing won't be of later versions, but a test file was).

how to create a custom type in Solr
I need to have a field that supports ranges...for instance, you specify a range of 8000 to 9000 and if you search for 8500, it will hit. However, when googling, I really couldn't find any resources on how to create your own field type in Solr. But from what I was able to find, the AbstractSubTypeFieldType class seems like a good starting point for the type that I want to make, however that isn't in the current version of Solr that I am using (1.4.1). So I guess my question is: is Solr 3.0 ready for production? If so, how do I get it? Do I just need to checkout the code from svn and build it myself? If so should I just check out the latest, or is there a particular branch that I should go with that is reliable? If I switch to 3.0, will I need to reindex my data, or has the data format not changed? And if 3.0 isn't ready for production, what would you suggest I do? Is the AbstractSubTypeFieldType such that I can backport it and use it with 1.4.1, or does it use specific features of 3.0 that I would have to backport as well, in which case it would become a horribly convoluted mess where I would be better off just going with 3.0. And I guess this comes back to help on finding resources about implementing custom types...it would just be more complicated if I couldn't use the AbstractSubTypeFieldType. (This is my first time posting to a mailing list, so if I have violated horribly some etiquette of mailing lists, please tell me). Regards, Thomas

I need to have a field that supports ranges...for instance, you specify a
range of 8000 to 9000 and if you search for 8500, it will hit. However,
when googling, I really couldn't find any resources on how to create your
own field type in Solr.
But from what I was able to find, the AbstractSubTypeFieldType class
seems
like a good starting point for the type that I want to make, however that
isn't in the current version of Solr that I am using (1.4.1). So I guess
my
question is: is Solr 3.0 ready for production? If so, how do I get it?
Do I
just need to checkout the code from svn and build it myself? If so
should I
just check out the latest, or is there a particular branch that I should
go
with that is reliable? If I switch to 3.0, will I need to reindex my
data,
or has the data format not changed?
And if 3.0 isn't ready for production, what would you suggest I do? Is
the
AbstractSubTypeFieldType such that I can backport it and use it with
1.4.1,
or does it use specific features of 3.0 that I would have to backport as
well, in which case it would become a horribly convoluted mess where I
would
be better off just going with 3.0. And I guess this comes back to help
on
finding resources about implementing custom types...it would just be more
complicated if I couldn't use the AbstractSubTypeFieldType.
(This is my first time posting to a mailing list, so if I have violated
horribly some etiquette of mailing lists, please tell me).
