Command used:

[dspace]/bin/dspace solr-import-statistics

Java class:

org.dspace.util.SolrImportExport

Arguments (short and long forms):

Description

- i or - -index-name

optional, the name of the index to process. "statistics" is the default.  "authority" can also be imported.

-c or --clear

optional, clears the contents of the existing stats core before importing
-d or --directoryoptional, directory which contains the files for importing. By default, [dspace]/solr-export is used. If that is not appropriate (due to storage concerns), we recommend you use this option to specify a more appropriate location.

Technical implementation details

After sharding, the Solr data cores are located in the [dspace.dir]/solr directory. There is no need to define the location of each individual core in solr.xml because they are automatically retrieved at runtime. This retrieval happens in the static method located in the org.dspace.statistics.SolrLogger class. These cores are stored in the statisticYearCores list.  Each time a query is made to Solr, these cores are added as shards by the addAdditionalSolrYearCores method. The cores share a common configuration copied from your original statistics core. Therefore, no issues should be resulting from subsequent ant updates.

The actual sharding of the of the original Solr core into individual cores by year is done in the shardSolrIndex method in the org.dspace.statistics.SolrLogger class. The sharding is done by first running a facet on the time to get the facets split by year. Once we have our years from our logs we query the main Solr data server for all information on each year & download these as CSVs. When we have all data for one year, we upload it to the newly created core of that year by using the update csv handler. Once all data of one year have been uploaded, those data are removed from the main Solr (by doing it this way if our Solr crashes we do not need to start from scratch).
