Re: Deleting from index via web

[vanderkerkoff]

Done some more digging about this

here's my delete code
def delete(self):
from solr import SolrConnection
c = SolrConnection(host='localhost:8983', persistent=False)
e_url = '/news/' + self.created_at.strftime(%Y/%m/%d) + '/' + 
self.slug
e_url = e_url.encode('ascii','ignore')
c.delete(id=e_url)
c.commit(optimize=True)

I get this back from jetty

INFO: delete(id '/news/2007/07/12/pilly') 0 1

It's not deleting the record form the index though, even if I restart jetty.

I'm wondering if I can use URL's as ID's now.

Different tactic now

adding like this
idstring = news:%s; % self.id  
c.add(id=idstring,url_t=e_url,body_t=body4solr,title_t=title4solr,summary_t=summary4solr,contact_name_t=contactname4solr)
c.commit(optimize=True)

Goes in fine, search results show an ID of news:36

Delete like this
delidstring = news:%s; % self.id
c.delete(id=delidstring)
c.commit(optimize=True)

still no joy

Re: Deleting from index via web

[vanderkerkoff]

I/my boss and me worked it out.

The delete funtion in solr.py looks like this
def delete(self, id):
xstr = 'deleteid'+self.escapeVal(`id`)+'/id/delete'
return self.doUpdateXML(xstr)

As we're not passing an integer it get's all c*nty booby, technical term.

So if I rewrite the delete to be like this

  def delete(self, id):
xstr = 'deleteid'+ id + '/id/delete'
print xstr
return self.doUpdateXML(xstr)

It works fine.

There's no need for escapeVal, as I know the words I'll be sending prior to
the ID, in fact, I'm not sure why escapeVal is in there at all if you can't
send it non integer values.

Maybe someone can enlighten us.

I would suggest replacing it with

self.escapeVal(unicode(id))

backticks are equivalent to repr(), which does the wrong thing for  
strings.
