I trying to index Word, PDF and other documents with Solr. I installed the latest nightly build of Solr on March 17. I followed the instructions in the Wiki for ExtractingRequestHandler at http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtractingRequestHandler#head-c95841f9eda007b6b4e4594ead12a04223cf7b6e.
I have produced text output from tiki in the nightly build directories from PDF files. When I try the suggested test curl commands in the "Getting Started with the Solr Examle" section of the Wiki page, I get the following. Any idea what I've done wrong? Thanks in advance for your help. $ curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update/extract?ext.idx.attr=true \&ext.def.fl=text -F "myfi...@tutorial.pdf" <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/> <title>Error 500 </title> </head> <body><h2>HTTP ERROR: 500</h2><pre>org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Document [null] missing required field: id org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Document [null] missing required field: id at org.apache.solr.handler.extraction.ExtractingDocumentLoader.load(ExtractingDocumentLoader.java:169) at org.apache.solr.handler.ContentStreamHandlerBase.handleRequestBody(ContentStreamHandlerBase.java:54) at org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase.handleRequest(RequestHandlerBase.java:131) at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.execute(SolrCore.java:1333) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.execute(SolrDispatchFilter.java:303) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java:232) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler $CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1089) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.handle(ServletHandler.java:365) at org.mortbay.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle(SecurityHandler.java:216) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.SessionHandler.handle(SessionHandler.java:181) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandler.handle(ContextHandler.java:712) at org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext.handle(WebAppContext.java:405) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandlerCollection.handle(ContextHandlerCollection.java:211) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerCollection.handle(HandlerCollection.java:114) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:139) at org.mortbay.jetty.Server.handle(Server.java:285) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection.handleRequest(HttpConnection.java:502) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection $RequestHandler.content(HttpConnection.java:835) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpParser.parseNext(HttpParser.java:641) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpParser.parseAvailable(HttpParser.java:202) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection.handle(HttpConnection.java:378) at org.mortbay.jetty.bio.SocketConnector $Connection.run(SocketConnector.java:226) at org.mortbay.thread.BoundedThreadPool $PoolThread.run(BoundedThreadPool.java:442) Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Document [null] missing required field: id at org.apache.solr.update.DocumentBuilder.toDocument(DocumentBuilder.java:292) at org.apache.solr.update.processor.RunUpdateProcessor.processAdd(RunUpdateProcessorFactory.java:59) at org.apache.solr.handler.extraction.ExtractingDocumentLoader.doAdd(ExtractingDocumentLoader.java:90) at org.apache.solr.handler.extraction.ExtractingDocumentLoader.addDoc(ExtractingDocumentLoader.java:95) at org.apache.solr.handler.extraction.ExtractingDocumentLoader.load(ExtractingDocumentLoader.java:157) ... 22 more </pre> <p>RequestURI=/solr/update/extract</p><p><i><small><a href="http://jetty.mortbay.org/";>Powered by Jetty://</a></small></i></p><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> </body> </html> Larry Reid Principal Consultant, Jade Systems Inc Mobile: +1 604.376.8884 Pragmatic IT Blog | El Blog Technologia Pragmatica | www.jadesystems.ca
