A friend and I are trying to develop some software using Solr in the background, and with that comes alot of changes. We're used to older versions (4.3 and below). We especially have problems with the autosuggest feature.
This is the field definition (schema.xml) for our autosuggest field: <field name="autosuggest" type="autosuggest" indexed="true" stored="true" required="false" multiValued="true" /> ... <copyField source="name" dest="autosuggest" /> ... <fieldType name="autosuggest" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" splitOnCaseChange="0" splitOnNumerics="1" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" preserveOriginal="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" words="stopwords.txt" ignoreCase="true" enablePositionIncrements="true" format="snowball"/> <filter class="solr.DictionaryCompoundWordTokenFilterFactory" dictionary="dictionary.txt" minWordSize="5" minSubwordSize="3" maxSubwordSize="30" onlyLongestMatch="false"/> <filter class="solr.GermanNormalizationFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" language="German2" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="2" maxGramSize="30"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" splitOnCaseChange="0" splitOnNumerics="1" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" preserveOriginal="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" words="stopwords.txt" ignoreCase="true" enablePositionIncrements="true" format="snowball"/> <filter class="solr.GermanNormalizationFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" language="German2" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> Afterwards, we defined an autosuggest component to use this field, like this (solrconfig.xml): <searchComponent name="suggest" class="solr.SuggestComponent"> <lst name="suggester"> <str name="name">mySuggester</str> <str name="lookupImpl">FuzzyLookupFactory</str> <str name="storeDir">suggester_fuzzy_dir</str> <str name="dictionaryImpl">DocumentDictionaryFactory</str> <str name="field">suggest</str> <str name="suggestAnalyzerFieldType">"autosuggest"</str> <str name="buildOnStartup">false</str> <str name="buildOnCommit">false</str> </lst> </searchComponent> And add a requesthandler to test out the functionality: <requestHandler name="/suggesthandler" class="solr.SearchHandler" startup="lazy" > <lst name="defaults"> <str name="suggest">true</str> <str name="suggest.count">10</str> <str name="suggest.dictionary">mySuggester</str> </lst> <arr name="components"> <str>suggest</str> </arr> </requestHandler> However, trying to start the core that has this configuration, a long exception occurs, telling us this: Error in configuration: "autosuggest" is not defined in the schema Now, that seems to be wrong. Any idea how to fix that?
