Hi Dileepa, If I understand correctly this is what happens in your system correctly :
1. DIH Sends data to Solr 2. You have written a custom update processor ( http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateRequestProcessor) which the asks your Stanbol server for meta data, adds it to the document and then indexes it. Its the part where you query the Stanbol server and wait for the response which takes time and you want to reduce this. According to me instead of waiting for your response from the Stanbol server and then indexing it, You could send the required field data from the doc to your Stanbol server and continue. Once Stanbol as enriched the document, you re-index the document and update it with the meta-data. This method makes you re-index the document but the changes from your client would be visible faster. Alternately you could do the same thing at the DIH level by writing a customer Transformer ( http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#Writing_Custom_Transformers) On Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 10:44 AM, Dileepa Jayakody < dileepajayak...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Ahmet, > > > > On Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 3:26 AM, Ahmet Arslan <iori...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Here is what I understand from your Question. > > > > You have a custom update processor that runs with DIH.
