This guide will help you get up and running with a Fedora 4 instance whose updates are automatically indexed in a Solr repository. This guide glosses over many of the details and should be considered a starting point for testing this feature. The document assumes a POSIX operating system with cURL, a text editor, Java, Git, and a download of Apache Solr 4.6.0. |
This guide assumes Fedora 4 is running on port 8080 (with JMS listening on port 61616).
wget http://mirror.cogentco.com/pub/apache/lucene/solr/4.6.0/solr-4.6.0.tgz tar -xzf solr-4.6.0.tgz |
Edit solr-4.6.0/example/solr/collection1/conf/solrconfig.xml:
<!-- To enable dynamic schema REST APIs, use the following for <schemaFactory>: --> <schemaFactory class="ManagedIndexSchemaFactory"> <bool name="mutable">true</bool> <str name="managedSchemaResourceName">managed-schema</str> </schemaFactory> <!-- When ManagedIndexSchemaFactory is specified, Solr will load the schema from the resource named in 'managedSchemaResourceName', rather than from schema.xml. Note that the managed schema resource CANNOT be named schema.xml. If the managed schema does not exist, Solr will create it after reading schema.xml, then rename 'schema.xml' to 'schema.xml.bak'. Do NOT hand edit the managed schema - external modifications will be ignored and overwritten as a result of schema modification REST API calls. When ManagedIndexSchemaFactory is specified with mutable = true, schema modification REST API calls will be allowed; otherwise, error responses will be sent back for these requests. --> <!-- <schemaFactory class="ClassicIndexSchemaFactory"/> --> |
The fcrepo-message-consumer SolrIndexer implementation does not commit upon updates. In order to see the changes, you must configure Solr to have a commit strategy that is appropriate for your use. Resource removal events do trigger a commit. |
<!-- AutoCommit Perform a hard commit automatically under certain conditions. Instead of enabling autoCommit, consider using "commitWithin" when adding documents. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages maxDocs - Maximum number of documents to add since the last commit before automatically triggering a new commit. maxTime - Maximum amount of time in ms that is allowed to pass since a document was added before automatically triggering a new commit. openSearcher - if false, the commit causes recent index changes to be flushed to stable storage, but does not cause a new searcher to be opened to make those changes visible. If the updateLog is enabled, then it's highly recommended to have some sort of hard autoCommit to limit the log size. --> <autoCommit> <maxTime>${solr.autoCommit.maxTime:15000}</maxTime> <openSearcher>false</openSearcher> </autoCommit> |
Start Solr and verify that it is running at http://localhost:8983/solr.
cd solr-4.6.0/example java -jar start.jar |
Add the "uuid" field ("title" and "id" already exist).
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary "@solr-fields.json" "http://localhost:8983/solr/schema/fields" |
[{"name":"uuid","type":"text_general","stored":"true","indexed":"true"}] |
git clone git@github.com:fcrepo4/fcrepo-message-consumer.git |
Edit the configuration at fcrepo-message-consumer/fcrepo-message-consumer-webapp/src/main/resources/spring/indexer-core.xml to point to your Solr installation.
<!-- Solr Indexer START--> <bean id="solrIndexer" class="org.fcrepo.indexer.solr.SolrIndexer"> <constructor-arg ref="solrServer" /> </bean> <!--External Solr Server --> <bean id="solrServer" class="org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer"> <constructor-arg index="0" value="http://${fcrepo.host:localhost}:${solrIndexer.port:8983}/solr/" /> </bean> <!-- Solr Indexer END--> <!-- Message Driven POJO (MDP) that manages individual indexers --> <bean id="indexerGroup" class="org.fcrepo.indexer.IndexerGroup"> <constructor-arg name="indexers"> <set> <!-- <ref bean="jcrXmlPersist"/> <ref bean="fileSerializer"/> <ref bean="sparqlUpdate"/> --> <!--To enable solr Indexer, please uncomment line below --> <ref bean="solrIndexer"/> </set> </constructor-arg> <!-- If your Fedora instance requires authentication, enter the credentials here.

Start the application (in this case on port 9999).
mvn clean install -DskipTests cd fcrepo-message-consumer-webapp mvn -Djetty.port=9999 jetty:run |
curl -v -X PUT -H "Content-Type: text/turtle" --data-binary "@object.rdf" "http://localhost:8080/rest/indexableObject" |

Ensure that the records are committed to Solr (either through an explicit commit or waiting until the configured commit period is up) and then verify that they show up.
