solrj library requirements: slf4j-jdk14-1.5.5.jar

2012-06-06 Thread Welty, Richard

using Tika (ExtractingRequestHandler)

2012-05-17 Thread Welty, Richard
i'm looking at using Tika to index a bunch of documents. the wiki page seems to be a little bit out of date (// TODO: this is out of date as of Solr 1.4 - dist/apache-solr-cell-1.4.jar and all of contrib/extraction/lib are needed) and it also looks a little incomplete. is there an actual list

this is called geocoding and is properly a subject for GIS types. it can be non trivial and the data you need to set it up may not be cheap. i can't address the UK application, but i am somewhat familiar with the US problem space, and in the US 5 digit postal (zip) codes don't map to discreet

response codes from http update requests

2012-05-01 Thread Welty, Richard
should i be concerned with the http response codes from update requests? i can't find documentation on what values come back from them anywhere (although maybe i'm not looking hard enough.) are they just http standard with 200 for success and 400/500 for failures? thanks, richard
