So I came up with the following class. public class LatestTimestampEvaluator extends Evaluator {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(LatestTimestampEvaluator.class.getName()); @Override public String evaluate(String expression, Context context) { List params = EvaluatorBag.parseParams(expression, context.getVariableResolver()); String field = params.get(0).toString(); SolrCore core = context.getSolrCore(); CoreContainer container = new CoreContainer(); container.register(core, false); EmbeddedSolrServer server = new EmbeddedSolrServer(container, core.getName()); SolrQuery query = new SolrQuery("*:*"); query.addSortField(field, SolrQuery.ORDER.desc); query.setRows(1); try { QueryResponse response = null; response = server.query(query); SolrDocument document = response.getResults().get(0); Date date = (Date) document.getFirstValue(field); String timestamp = new Timestamp(date.getTime()).toString(); logger.info(timestamp); return timestamp; } catch (Exception exception) { logger.severe(exception.getMessage()); logger.severe(DocumentUtils.stackTraceToString(exception)); return null; } finally { core.close(); container.shutdown(); } } and I am calling it within my dataconfig file like so... <dataConfig> <function name="latest_timestamp" class="com.mycompany.solr.handler.dataimport.LatestTimestampEvaluator"/> ... <entity name="item" ... deltaQuery="select id from items where updated_on > '${dataimporter.functions.latest_timestamp('updated_on')}' .... </entity> </datConfig> I was hoping someone can 1) Comment on the above class. How does it suck? This was my first time working with SolrJ. 2) It seems to work find when I there is only one entity using that function but when there are more entities using that function (which is my use case) I get a "SEVERE: java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException" exception. Can someone explain why this is happening and how I can fix it. I added the full stack trace to a separate thread here: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SEVERE-java-util-concurrent-RejectedExecutionException-tp782768p782768.html Thanks for your help! -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Custom-DIH-variables-tp777696p782769.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
