Many thanks. Let me record here what I have tried. I have viewed: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages
and this github project which is suggestive: https://github.com/industria/solrprocessors I now have two UpdateRequestChains: <updateRequestProcessorChain name="harvest" default="true"> <processor class="solr.RunUpdateProcessorFactory"/> <processor class="org.apache.solr.update.TopicQuestsDocumentProcessFactory"> <str name="inputField">hello</str> </processor> <processor class="solr.LogUpdateProcessorFactory"/> </updateRequestProcessorChain> and the new one (which is "harvest" without the TopicQuestsDocumentProcessFactory): <updateRequestProcessorChain name="partial" default="false"> <processor class="solr.RunUpdateProcessorFactory"/> <processor class="solr.LogUpdateProcessorFactory"/> </updateRequestProcessorChain> Before I added "partial" <requestHandler name="/update" class="solr.XmlUpdateRequestHandler"> ... "harvest" always ran using http://localhost:8983/solr as the base URL. A goal was to use "harvest" only for "updates" and use "partial" for partial updates. I am now feeding partial with this code: UpdateRequest ur = new UpdateRequest(); ur.add(document); ur.setCommitWithin(1000); UpdateResponse response = ur.process(updateServer); where updateServer is a second SolrJ server set to http://localhost:8983/solr/update But, what is now happening, after I made this addition: <requestHandler name="/update" class="solr.XmlUpdateRequestHandler"> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="update.chain">partial</str> </lst> </requestHandler> dropping "partial" into /update where nothing was there before, Now, just "partial" is running from the base URL and "harvest" is never called, which means that I never see partial updates to validate that part of the code. At issue is this: I have two "update" pathways: One for when I am adding new documents One for which I am performing partial updates May I ask how I can configure my system to use "harvest" for new documents and "partial" for when partial updates are sent in?
