interesting.  unfortunately, time to take a break and so will have to deal
with this in the new year tho.

Merry Christmas and thanks for all the time and effort you guys put in
answering all of our questions.  It is much appreciated.

Do you have the jts libraries (e.g. jts-1.13.jar) in Solr's classpath 
(quoting from https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrAdaptersForLuceneSpatial4 
it needs to be in WEB-INF/lib in Solr's war file, basically)?

Re: Solr 4.10.2 Found core but I get No cores available in dashboard page

2014-12-11 Thread solr-user
my apologies for the lack of clarity

our internal name for the project to upgrade solr from 4.0 to 4.10.2 is
helios and so we named our test folder heliosearch.  I was not even
aware of the github project Heliosearch, and nothing we are doing is related
to it.

to simplify things for this post, we simplified things so that we have one
solr instance but two cores;  coreX contains the collection1 files/folders
as per the downloaded solr 4.10.2 package, while coreA uses the same
collection1 files/folders but with schema.xml and solrconfig.xml changes to
meet our needs

so file and foldername-wise, here is what we did:

1. C:\SOLR\solr-4.10.2.zip\solr-4.10.2\example renamed to
C:\SOLR\helios-4.10.2\Master
2. renamed example\solr\collection1 to example\solr\coreX; no files modified
here
3. copied example\solr\coreX to example\solr\coreA
4. modified the coreA schema to match our current production schema; ie our
field names, etc
5. modified the coreA solrconfig.xml to meet our needs (see below)

here are the solrconfig.xml changes we made to coreA

1. directoryFactory name=DirectoryFactory
class=${solr.directoryFactory:solr.StandardDirectoryFactory}
2. mergeFactor4/mergeFactor
3. reopenReadersfalse/reopenReaders
4. infoStreamfalse/infoStream
5. commented out autoCommit section
6. commented out autoSoftCommit section
7. commented out the cache name=perSegFilter... section
8. maxWarmingSearchers4/maxWarmingSearchers
9. requestParsers enableRemoteStreaming=true
multipartUploadLimitInKB=2048000 /
10. requestHandler name=/select class=solr.SearchHandler contains arr
name=last-componentsstrgeocluster/str/arr
11. commented out these sections:
  requestHandler name=/browse class=solr.SearchHandler
 requestHandler name=/spell class=solr.SearchHandler startup=lazy
  requestHandler name=/suggest class=solr.SearchHandler startup=lazy
 searchComponent name=suggest class=solr.SuggestComponent
  searchComponent name=tvComponent class=solr.TermVectorComponent/
  requestHandler name=/tvrh class=solr.SearchHandler startup=lazy
  searchComponent name=quot;clusteringquot; ...
  lt;requestHandler name=quot;/clusteringquot;...
  lt;searchComponent name=quot;elevatorquot;
class=quot;solr.QueryElevationComponentquot; 
  requestHandler name=/elevate class=solr.SearchHandler startup=lazy
  queryResponseWriter name=xslt class=solr.XSLTResponseWriter

here are the schema.xml changes we made to our copy of the downloaded solr
4.10.2 package (aside from replacing the example fields provided in the
downloaded solr 4.10.2):

1. schema name=Helios version=1.5
2. removed the example fields provided in the downloaded solr 4.10.2
3. delete various types we dont use in our current schemas
4. added fieldtypes that are in our current solr 4.0 instances
5. added various fieldtypes that are in our current solr 4.0 instances
6. readded the text field as apparently required:field name=text
type=text_general indexed=true stored=false multiValued=true/

also note that we are using java 1.7.0_67 and jetty-8.1.10.v20130312

all in all, I dont see anything that we have done that would keep the cores
from being discovered.

hope that helps.

Re: Solr 4.10.2 Found core but I get No cores available in dashboard page

2014-12-11 Thread Alexandre Rafalovitch
And the XML is valid, lib references in solrconfig.xml point to the
right libraries (if any), you don't have duplicate definitions of
types, you don't have missing definitions of types? And you didn't
disable the admin handler?

And it's not just admin that's failing to find the core, right? If you
use command line to ping it for a basic search, do you get anything?

I am really grasping at the straws here. You seem to be very organized
with that and any errors (for the stuff I mentioned above) SHOULD be
clear and visible. I'd start bisecting the problem:
1) Admin and/or command-line problem
2) Is filesystem monitoring during the start (
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 ) shows any
unexpected filesystem access
3) Can you cut your changes in half (e.g. not remove anything) and
still see the problem

Regards,
   Alex.
P.s. When you do figure it out, let us know. Just for the future
troubleshooting generations.

Re: Solr 4.10.2 Found core but I get No cores available in dashboard page

2014-12-11 Thread solr-user
yes, have triple checked the schema and solrconfig XML; various tools have
indicated the XML is valid

no missing types or dupes, and have not disabled the admin handler

as mentioned in my most recent response, I can see the coreX core (the
renamed and unmodified collection1 core from the downloaded package) and
query it with no issues, but coreA (whch has our specific schema and
solrconfig changes) is not showing in the admin interface and cannot be
queried (I get a 404)

both cores are located in the same solr folder.

appreciate the suggestions; looks like I will need to gradually move my
schema and core changes towards the collection1 content and see where things
start working; will take a while...sigh

will let you know what I find out.

Solr 4.10.2 Found core but I get No cores available in dashboard page

2014-12-10 Thread solr-user
hi all

We are trying out solr 4.10.2 (as an upgrade from 4.0) and are seeing an odd
issue.  

When Solr starts up it finds the core (coreA) where we put it (we see
Found core coreA in the solr console) but we see No cores available when
we go to the solr dashboard.

I also noticed that the index folder is not being created

I have made sure that the files/folders permissions are correct (ie readable
and writeable)

Note that we are testing under Windows 7, and that the sample solr in 4.10.2
runs fine (with the same folder structure, etc tho with the default schema
and solrconfig.xml).  I have run thru the solrconfig.xml several times and
don't see anything that should cause this issue (our test solrconfig.xml has
some specific config values that we need for out tests, such as mergeFactor
and no soft/auto commits)

Does this sound like a 4.10.2 issue or ???   Let me know what additional
info would help

Any help appreciated.

Looks ok to me from a glance. Are you absolutely sure you are not
accidentally looking at a different running Solr instance? Yours is at
port 8086. You could accidentally be looking at the usual 8983 port ?

Anything on the log tab? Sometimes there are issues with loading
libraries. Then you should get bright red messages.

Ignore the ones about admin-extra though, they are not the cause.

Re: Solr 4.10.2 Found core but I get No cores available in dashboard page

2014-12-10 Thread Chris Hostetter
: We are trying out solr 4.10.2 (as an upgrade from 4.0) and are seeing an odd
: issue.  
...
: Note that we are testing under Windows 7, and that the sample solr in 4.10.2
: runs fine (with the same folder structure, etc tho with the default schema
: and solrconfig.xml).  I have run thru the solrconfig.xml several times and
...
: // here is a dump of what I see in the console
: C:\SOLR\helios-4.10.2\Instance\Masterjava -Xmx8096m -Xms8096m

it's not clear what you ar comparing here ... based on the path, it looks 
like the problem situation is when you are trying out heliosearch -- which 
is not the same as solr.  you mentioned that the sample solr in 4.10.2 
runs fine, but at no point do you clarify wether you *really* mean solr, 
or if you, again, are actually running heliosearch.

You also haven't really provided any details about how your coreA 
config/schema differs from the other things you tried that worked fine 
(regardless of wether you are talking about solr or heliosearch)

If, ultimately, the problems you are seeing because of the helios 
packaging, you should really take that up on the heliosearch mailing list.
