We are writing a RequestHandler in Solr which can do this . Think of it as an advanced form of SqlUpload Plugin (SOLR-103). The way it works is as follows. - Provide a configuration file (xml) to the Handler which takes in the necessary SQL queries and mappings to a solr schema - It also takes in a properties file for the data source configuraution - Given the configuration it can also generate the solr schema.xml - It is registered as a RequestHandler which can take two commands do-full-import, do-delta-import - do-full-import - dumps all the data from the Database into the index (based on the SQL query in configuration) - do-delta-import - dumps all the data that has changed since last import. (We assume a modified-timestamp column in tables) - It provides a admin page - where we can schedule it to be run automatically at regular intervals - It shows the status of the Handler (idle, full-import, delta-import) We wish to know if this can be contributed back to SOLR because we assume this is a very common use case. --Noble
