This UUID stuff should have been dropped when it was ported to Apache. This was a project specific thing where the team that developed it had a different unique id (UUID).

SolrIndexer queries metadata for a single or multiple products from a File Manager and put them into a Solr index. It does this by an http POST to solr/update. Very cool. Because it's xml on the wire, its really easy to tcpdump and view the actual POST and see what the content is :). This is how I discovered that the indexAll was not updating solr (see below). Okay so for a simple test, I set up the following mapping, since these fields already exist in the Solr schema.xml file: map.ExperimentID=id map.Observer=author map.Description=description Note: It seems a good idea to have an "id" field. If you look in the solr scheme.xml file, I saw the following configuration by default: <!-- Field to use to determine and enforce document uniqueness. Unless this field is marked with required="false", it will be a required field --> <uniqueKey>id</uniqueKey> Okay, so I finally ran the SolrIndexer with the -all. This piece of code (starting at line 209 of SolrIndexer.java) was never executed. It's checking for metadata "UUID". I don't have this metadata key. if (metadata.getMetadata("UUID") != null) { if (metadata.getMetadata("Deleted") == null || !"true".equals(metadata.getMetadata("Deleted"))) { try { server.add(this.getSolrDocument(metadata)); server.commit(); LOG.info("Indexed " + metadata.getMetadata("UUID")); } catch (Exception e) { LOG.severe("Could not index " + metadata.getMetadata("UUID") + " " + e.getMessage()); } } else { LOG.info("Skipping Deleted: " + metadata.getMetadata("UUID")); } } Question: Deleted looks optional, so no problem there, but what should I be doing with UUID? I've changed this to be CAS.ProductId in the code, just to check nothing else was causing a problem. I thought it would be worth asking why UUID is specified... I've tried the single product index, which works just fine.

I think you need to tell it to allow for all fields, by uncommenting the dynamicField block in the schema.xml file to say "allow all fields" to come through, or modify the schema.xml in Solr's conf directory to specify which fields to send to Solr. Does that make sense? I can provide more detailed help and will follow up later, but see if that helps for now. Cheers, Chris
