Ryan McKinley commented on SOLR-469:
------------------------------------
Hi- thanks for posting this.
I have not had a chance to look at this in depth, but a couple things jump out
at me.
1. It looks like the model here is to treat "data-config.xml" as the master
and generate schema,xml from that. To me this seems a bit strange and
difficult to support long term. In my view, "schema.xml" should always be the
place to define fields and indexing properties. "data-config.xml" should just
be the place that maps SQL to the schema.
2. why not just use the standard copyField stuff rather then rolling your own?
{code:xml}
<field name="text">
<copyFrom>cat</copyFrom>
<copyFrom>name</copyFrom>
<copyFrom>manu</copyFrom>
<copyFrom>features</copyFrom>
</field>
{code}

> Priority: Minor

>
> We need a RequestHandler Which can import data from a DB or other dataSources
> into the Solr index .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)
