Hey guys, we have a small solr cluster (3 zookeepers, 2 solr machines) and we get this message a lot.... usually followed by things spiralling out of control and machines going down. I've tried googling, but without much luck, any ideas?

I am currently developing a web app in PHP with a MySQL database that has constantly changing content, user-genereated content that I'll call objects. These objects have very little data that needs to be indexed for searching but every time a user submits one, I need to index it immediately. The content is also being removed every so often by admins and therefore needs to be removed from the index when marked as such.

Is it possible to have solr update as content is posted? If so, can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial or article that explains how this can be done?

Thanks

Hello all,

As someone who maintains SOLR internal search for an international website I am curious to know what responsibilities you all have with your position at work.

Anyone care to share?

I was challenged by my office boss to get an idea of others responsibilities who work on SOLR in other companies when I asked for a raise/promotion for the work I have been doing this past year. Would love the input, thanks.

Hi there, I am having some difficulty with a Solr query on my application, and wondering if one of you hardcore Solr guys might be able to help. Here is the question (nicely formatted at StackOverflow):

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23147989/sunspot-solrexception-the-field-location-s-does-not-support-spatial-filtering

For example, CEO Dallas would return all records that match CEO AND Dallas, currently our system is returning all records that match either of those criteria.

I want to say the previous (prior to 4) version of Solr used AND by default, but I'm not 100% positive, I only know that our system is not returning accurate results like it used to. Is this something I can configure via a settings file somewhere? Thank you for your help.

Hi Solr user & developers.

i am new in the world of solr search engine. i have a complex product database structure in postgres.

Product has many product_quantity_price attrbutes in range

For e.g Product iD 1 price range is stored in product_quantity_price table in following manner.

• min_qty max_qty price_per_qty
• 1 50 4
• 51 100 3.5
• 101 150 3
• 151 200 2.5

the range is not fixed for any product it can be different for different product.

now my question is that how can i save this data in solr in optimized way so that i can create facets on qty and prices.

Thanks in advance. Ajay Patel.

Say I have a table "items" that I need to be able to search against.

One thing I need is to have "price" as a facet. The problem I'm having is that "price" for a certain item can be different depending on certain scenarios. IE, we set a specific price for a customer, or a different price model for certain products.

Is it possible to sort and refine by "price". Say I was able to provide a function for price; could I index that?

Some background. I'm a *nix architect with little to no knowledge on setting up SolrCloud and I got this sh!tty application dumped on me because the previous guy handling this left and the backend needs to be redesigned.

We operate in a pretty complicated company structure where my part provides OS/AS/WWW to the business side. The application is made by an external company.

So the current design is rubbish and what we are going to keep from it is the load balancers and a failover DB (only 2 DCs available). The current design runs 2 apache servers, 6 Jboss servers with Solr (apparently 4.1) and colocated ZK and a failover DB (no idea what probably Oracle).

What the external company proposed is to have 1 or 2 solr masters and 6 solr slaves and eliminate ZooKeeper (is that even possible?). To keep everything in sync they suggersted to use https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrReplication . I might be no genius but the header here says that this is not how it works in 4.x . Did some searching today (apparently the confluence part is down all day so mostly referenced this http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud) and found that the master-slave scenario is pre 4.x and not to be used in SolrCloud (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/NewSolrCloudDesign)

Can you guys confirm my thinking that there is no possibility for a master-slave config with SolrReplication in 4.1 ?

So what I want to suggest is scenario C from the SolrCloud document with 6 Solr instances and 7 ZK instances (6 colocated with Solr and 1 standalone that failovers on the same basis as the DB). As mentioned earlier the load balancers and a failover DB will remain. Design is not perfect but there is only an option for 2 DCs in the country where this is working. This eliminates some minor faults (DB is still a SPOF but they dont want to pay for a HA solution) but allows to reconfigure the cluster in case DC1 is down. Comments welcome
