Hi Fergus, The schema.xml has declaration of fields as well as analyzers/tokenizers which are required as per the application demand. The easiest way is to modify the schema.xml file which is delivered with <apache_solr>/example/solr/conf.
In case you are looking for setting up Solr in front of database with minimal manipulation of DB data, you can check it here http://www.params.me/2011/03/configure-apache-solr-14-with-mysql.html. I am using this setup in of my applications in production. -param On 1/25/12 11:10 AM, "Fergus McDowall" <fergusmcdow...@gmail.com> wrote: >Is it do-able/sensible to build a schema.xml from the ground up? > >Say that you are feeding the results of a database query into solr >containing the fields id(int), title(varchar), description(varchar), >pub_date(date) and tags(varchar) > >What would be the simplest schema.xml that could support this structure >in Solr? > >Fergus
