: I'm implementing a MoreLikeThis search. I have a couple of questions. : I'm implementing this with solrj so I would appreciate it if any code : snippets reflect that. : : First, I want to provide the text that Solr should check for : "interesting words" and do the search on. This means I don't want to : specify a document in the collection. I think the documentation implies
You'll want to make sure you're using the MLT *Handler* (not the MLT Component) to specify text in that way. The key phrase you'll want to pay attention to is "Content Stream" ContentStream is the general abstraction for streaming data to an solr RequestHandler, either via raw HTTP POST, or HTTP multi-part mime, or by asking Solr to pull from a remote URL or local file... https://wiki.apache.org/solr/MoreLikeThisHandler#Using_ContentStreams https://wiki.apache.org/solr/ContentStream ...the "ContentStreamUpdateRequest" class is somewhat poorly named because there is nothign about it that requires you use it for an "update" requests (that's just the primary use of Content Streams), you should certinly be able to use it to stream content from your SolrJ client to the MLT Handler... https://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/request/ContentStreamUpdateRequest.html -Hoss
