Henri Biestro commented on SOLR-646: ------------------------------------ Not sure this is my place to comment since I'm no committer but I don't see what this brings that the previous patch did not (and do see that 'import' or sharing schema/config is not a feature that should be discussed).. It would have been helpful to me to understand why the updated patch is not even considered. All yours then. > Configuration properties in multicore.xml > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-646 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-646 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: Henri Biestro > Assignee: Shalin Shekhar Mangar > Fix For: 1.3 > > Attachments: SOLR-646.patch, solr-646.patch, solr-646.patch, > solr-646.patch, solr-646.patch, solr-646.patch > > > This patch refers to 'generalized configuration properties' as specified by > [HossMan|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-350?focusedCommentId=12562834#action_12562834] > This means configuration & schema files can use expression based on > properties defined in multicore.xml. > h3. Use cases: > Share the same schema and/or config file between multiple cores but point to > different dataDirs using a <dataDir>${core.datadir}</dataDir> > Change the general layout between data, config & schema directories. > Define 'installation' wide properties (for replication for instance) in > multicore.properties (different base/install/data directories on different > hosts). > h3. Syntax: > h4. Defining properties: > Either in the multicore.properties file (usual property format): > {code:xml} > env.value=an installation value > env.other_value=another installation value > {code} > In the multicore.xml: > {code:xml} > <multicore'> > <property name='mp0'>a value</property> <!-- a basic property --> > <property name='mp1'>${env.value}</property> }<!-- a property whose value > is an expression --> > <core name='core_name'> > <property name='p0'>some value</property> > <property name='p1'>${mp0}-and some data</property> > </core> > </multicore> > {code} > h4. Using properties: > Besides used defined properties, the following core descriptor properties are > automatically defined in each core context, namely: > {code} > solr.core.instanceDir > solr.core.instancePath > solr.core.name > solr.core.configName > solr.core.schemaName > {code} > All properties can be used in any attribute or text node of a solrconfig.xml > or schema.xml as in: > {code:xml} > <dataDir>${core.dataDir}</dataDir> > {code} > h4. Technical specifications > Multicore.xml can define properties at the multicore & each core level. > Properties defined in the multicore scope can override system properties. > Properties defined in a core scope can override multicore & system properties. > Property definitions can use expressions to define their name & value; these > expressions are evaluated in their outer scope context . > Multicore serialization keeps properties as written (ie as expressions if > they were defined so). > The core descriptor properties are automatically defined in each core > context, namely: > solr.core.instanceDir > solr.core.instancePath > solr.core.name > solr.core.configName > solr.core.schemaName > h4. Test: > The following (contrived) multicore.xml: > {code:xml} > <multicore adminPath='/admin/multicore' persistent='true'> > <property name='revision'>33</property> <!-- a basic property --> > <property name='zero'>0</property> <!-- used to expand the core0 name --> > <property name='one'>1</property> <!-- used to expand the core1 name --> > <property name='id_type'>bogus</property> <!-- a bogus type that will be > overriden --> > <property name='updateHandler'>bogus</property> <!-- a bogus updateHandler > that will be overriden --> > <core name='core${zero}' instanceDir='core0/'> <!-- the name is expanded > --> > <property name='id_type'>core${zero}_id</property> <!-- so is a text node > --> > <property name='updateHandler'>solr.DirectUpdateHandler2</property> <!-- > a property can be overriden --> > <property name='revision'>11</property> > </core> > <core name='core${one}' instanceDir='core1/'> > <property name='id_type'>core${one}_id</property> > <property name='updateHandler'>solr.DirectUpdateHandler2</property> > <property name='revision'>22</property> > </core> > </multicore> > {code} > allows this config.xml: > {code:xml} > <config> > <!-- use the defined update handler property --> > <updateHandler class="${updateHandler}" /> > <requestDispatcher handleSelect="true" > > <requestParsers enableRemoteStreaming="false" > multipartUploadLimitInKB="2048" /> > </requestDispatcher> > > <requestHandler name="standard" class="solr.StandardRequestHandler" > default="true" /> > <requestHandler name="/update" class="solr.XmlUpdateRequestHandler" /> > <requestHandler name="/admin/luke" > class="org.apache.solr.handler.admin.LukeRequestHandler" /> > > <!-- config for the admin interface --> > <admin> > <defaultQuery>solr</defaultQuery> > <gettableFiles>solrconfig.xml schema.xml admin-extra.html</gettableFiles> > <pingQuery> > qt=standard&q=solrpingquery > </pingQuery> > </admin> > </config> > {code} > and this schema.xml: > {code:xml} > <schema name="example core zero" version="1.1"> > <types> > <!-- define a type name dynamically --> > <fieldtype name="${id_type:id_t}" class="solr.StrField" > sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true"/> > <fieldtype name="string" class="solr.StrField" sortMissingLast="true" > omitNorms="true"/> > </types> > <fields> > <!-- the type of unique key defined above --> > <field name="id" type="${id_type:id_t}" indexed="true" > stored="true" multiValued="false" required="true"/> > <field name="type" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" > multiValued="false" /> > <field name="name" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" > multiValued="false" /> > <field name="${solr.core.name:core}" type="string" indexed="true" > stored="true" multiValued="false" /> > </fields> > <uniqueKey>id</uniqueKey> > <defaultSearchField>name</defaultSearchField> > <solrQueryParser defaultOperator="OR"/> > </schema> > {code} > Allow the trunk test to work. > h3. Coding notes: > The code itself refactored some of DOMUtil (the ant based property > substitution) into one added class (PropertyMap & PropertyMap.Evaluator). > The PropertyMap are chained (one link chain between core to multicore map); > those maps are owned by each core's ResourceLoader. > Config is modified a little to accommodate delaying & specializing property > expansions. > Multicore is modified so it properly parses & serializes. > Tested against the example above. > Reviews & comments more than welcome. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
