Thanks for the tip Ken. I tried that but don't see the importing happening when I check up on the status.
Below is what's in my dataimport.properties. #Wed Nov 10 11:36:28 PST 2010 metadataObject.last_index_time=2010-09-20 11\:12\:47 interval=1 port=8080 server=localhost params=/select?qt\=/dataimport&command\=full-import&clean\=true&commit\=true webapp=solr id.last_index_time=2010-11-10 11\:36\:27 syncEnabled=1 last_index_time=2010-11-10 11\:36\:27 ________________________________ From: Ken Stanley <doh...@gmail.com> To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Sent: Wed, November 10, 2010 4:41:17 AM Subject: Re: scheduling imports and heartbeats On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 10:16 PM, Tri Nguyen <tringuye...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Can I configure solr to schedule imports at a specified time (say once a day, > once an hour, etc)? > > Also, does solr have some sort of heartbeat mechanism? > > Thanks, > > Tri Tri, If you use the DataImportHandler (DIH), you can set up a dataimport.properties file that can be configured to import on intervals. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#dataimport.properties_example As for "heartbeat", you can use the ping handler (default is /admin/ping) to check the status of the servlet. - Ken
