Shawn, I do not know of an easy or a good way to do this. It would be nice if there were a non-frail, programmatic way to get back DIH status but I don't think there is one. I have a (monsterous) program that polls a running DIH handler every so often to get its status. The crux is something like this:
DirectXmlRequest req = new DirectXmlRequest(requestUrl, null); req.setMethod(METHOD.GET); req.setParams(params); NamedList<Object> nl = server.request("/dataimport"); String status = (String) nl.get("status"); String response = (String) nl.get("importResponse"); Map<String, String> msgs = (Map<String, String>) nl.get("statusMessages"); if(msgs!=null) { String numReq = (String) msgs.get("Total Requests made to DataSource"); String numRows = (String) msgs.get("Total Documents Processed"); String docsSkipped = (String) msgs.get("Total Documents Skipped"); String timeStarted = (String) msgs.get("Full Dump Started"); String elapsed = (String) msgs.get("Time taken "); String aborted = (String) msgs.get("Aborted"); String plaintextMsg = (String) msgs.get(""); } Not sure this is what you're after, but maybe it'd be helpful. Like I say, I wish [I knew of|there was] a better way to do this...

I see that QueryResponse has a number of methods for getting specific information out, but as far as I can see, none of them have anything at all to do with the DIH. I've started out with the following code. The solrCore object is a CommonsHttpSolrServer that is defined at the class level and initialized by the constructor: ModifiableSolrParams p = new ModifiableSolrParams(); p.set("qt", "/dataimport"); QueryResponse qr = solrCore.query(p); What do I do with qr? I've been looking at the docs and cannot figure it out. Can someone fill my poor clueless brain in on what I'm missing? Is there a better approach than what I've got above? From the /dataimport response, I need to see the value of "status" and then I need to access several pieces of information under the "statusMessages" section. I haven't been able to find an example. Thanks, Shawn
