Hi Jack, I tried putting the schema.xml file (further below) in the path you specified below, but when i tried to start (java -jar start.jar) got the message below.
I can try a fresh install like you suggested, but I'm not sure what would be different. I was using documenationt at http://lucene.apache.org/solr/4_1_0/tutorial.html using the binary from zip. Are you suggesting building from source and/or some other approach? Also, what is the best documentation currently for 4.1 install (for mac), (there are a lot of sites out there.) Thanks in advance. -Patrice SEVERE: Unable to create core: collection1 org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Unknown fieldtype 'string' specified on field id at org.apache.solr.schema.IndexSchema.readSchema(IndexSchema.java:390) at org.apache.solr.schema.IndexSchema.<init>(IndexSchema.java:113) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.createFromLocal(CoreContainer.java:1000) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.create(CoreContainer.java:1033) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer$3.call(CoreContainer.java:629) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer$3.call(CoreContainer.java:624) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:303) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:138) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:439) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:303) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:138) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:895) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:918) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) Mar 25, 2013 7:14:53 PM org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log SEVERE: null:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Unable to create core: collection1 at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.recordAndThrow(CoreContainer.java:1654) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.create(CoreContainer.java:1039) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer$3.call(CoreContainer.java:629) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer$3.call(CoreContainer.java:624) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:303) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:138) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:439) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:303) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:138) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:895) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:918) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Unknown fieldtype 'string' specified on field id at org.apache.solr.schema.IndexSchema.readSchema(IndexSchema.java:390) at org.apache.solr.schema.IndexSchema.<init>(IndexSchema.java:113) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.createFromLocal(CoreContainer.java:1000) at org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer.create(CoreContainer.java:1033) ... 10 more --- Here's the normal path to the example configuration in Solr 4.1: .../solr-4.1.0/example/solr/collection1/conf That's the directory in which the example schema.xml and other configuration files live. There is no solr-4.1.0/example/conf directory, unless you managed to create one yourself. I suggest that you start with a fresh install of Solr 4.1 As far as keywords, the existing field is set up to be a comma-separated list of keyword phrases. Of course, you can structure it any way that your application requires. -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: Patrice Seyed Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2013 2:48 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: status 400 on posting json Hi, Re: ----------------- Is there some place I should indicate what parameters are including in the json objects send? I was able to test books.json without the error. "Yes, in Solr's schema.xml (under the conf/ directory). See <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaXml> for more details. Erik Hatcher" and: ----------------- "I tried it and I get the same error response! Which is because... I don't have a field named "datasource". You need to check the Solr schema.xml for the available fields and then add any fields that your JSON uses that are not already there. Be sure to shutdown and restart Solr after editing the schema. I did notice that there is a "keywords" field, but it is not multivalued, while you keywords are multivalued. Or, you can us dynamic fields, such as "datasource_s" and "keywords_ss ("s" for string and a second "s" for multivalued), etc. for your other fields. -- Jack Krupansky" ----------------- Thanks very much for these responses. I'm still confused by the fact that there is no schema.xml for the books.json fields though. Was this compiled into the start.jar? Also, where do I place my crafted schema.xml? I tried in ~/solr-4.1.0/example/conf where the start.jar is in/run from ~/solr-4.1.0/example but so far is still complaining about not finding the 'datasource' field. (also tried placing it in ~/solr-4.1.0/example/solr/conf) (my current schema.xml is further below.) Also Jack, would it be better to parse this keywords field value differently for it to be appropriately multivalued?: "keywords":["EARTH SCIENCE : Oceans : Ocean Temperature : Water Temperature","Temperature","Integrated Ocean Observing System","IOOS","Oceanographic Sensor Data","Intertidal Temperature Data","continental shelf","seawater","temperature","Oregon","United States of America","PISCO"] Thanks, Patrice <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <schema name="example" version="1.5"> <fields> <field name="id" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" multiValued="false" /> <field name="datasource" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" multiValued="false" /> <field name="abstract" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" multiValued="false" /> <field name="title" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" multiValued="false" /> <field name="author" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" multiValued="false" /> <field name="contactOrganization" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" multiValued="false" /> <field name="keywords" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" multiValued="false" /> </fields> </schema>
