Overview

Write to Solr using the JSON interface; only works for Solr >= 3.2

This should work under both MRI and JRuby, with JRuby getting much better performance due to the threading model.

Solr updates are by default sent with no commit params. This will definitely maximize your performance, and especially for bulk/batch indexing is recommended -- use Solr auto commit in your Solr configuration instead, possibly with commit_on_close setting here.

However, if you want the writer to send commitWithin=true, commit=true, softCommit=true, or any other URL parameters valid for Solr update handlers, you can configure this with solr_writer.solr_update_args setting. See: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_0/near-real-time-searching.html#passing-commit-and-commitwithin-parameters-as-part-of-the-url Eg:

settings do
  provide "solr_writer.solr_update_args", { commitWithin: 1000 }
end

(That it's a hash makes it infeasible to set/override on command line, if this is annoying for you let us know)

solr_update_args will apply to batch and individual update requests, but not to commit sent if commit_on_close. You can also instead set solr_writer.solr_commit_args for that (or pass in an arg to #commit if calling manually)

Relevant settings

  • solr.url (optional if solr.update_url is set) The URL to the solr core to index into

  • solr.update_url: The actual update url. If unset, we'll first see if "#solrsolr.url/update/json" exists, and if not use "#solrsolr.url/update"

  • solr_writer.batch_size: How big a batch to send to solr. Default is 100. My tests indicate that this setting doesn't change overall index speed by a ton.

  • solr_writer.thread_pool: How many threads to use for the writer. Default is 1. Likely useful even under MRI since thread will be waiting on Solr for some time.

  • solr_writer.max_skipped: How many records skipped due to errors before we bail out with a fatal error? Set to -1 for unlimited skips. Default 0, raise and abort on a single record that could not be added to Solr.

  • solr_writer.skippable_exceptions: List of classes that will be rescued internal to SolrJsonWriter, and handled with max_skipped logic. Defaults to [HTTPClient::TimeoutError, SocketError, Errno::ECONNREFUSED, Traject::SolrJsonWriter::BadHttpResponse]

  • solr_writer.solr_update_args: A hash of query params to send to solr update url. Will be sent with every update request. Eg { softCommit: true } or { commitWithin: 1000 }. See also solr_writer.solr_commit_args

  • solr_writer.commit_on_close: Set to true (or "true") if you want to commit at the end of the indexing run. (Old "solrj_writer.commit_on_close" supported for backwards compat only.)

  • solr_writer.commit_solr_update_args: A hash of query params to send when committing. Will be used for automatic close_on_commit, as well as any manual calls to #commit. If set, must include => "true" or { "softCommit" => "true" } if you actually want commits to happen when SolrJsonWriter tries to commit! But can be used to switch to softCommits (hard commits default), or specify additional params like optimize etc.

  • solr_writer.http_timeout: Value in seconds, will be set on the httpclient as connect/receive/send timeout. No way to set them individually at present. Default nil, use HTTPClient defaults (60 for connect/recieve, 120 for send).

  • solr_writer.commit_timeout: If commit_on_close, how long to wait for Solr before giving up as a timeout (http client receive_timeout). Default 10 minutes. Solr can be slow at commits. Overrides solr_writer.timeout

  • solr_json_writer.http_client Mainly intended for testing, set your own HTTPClient or mock object to be used for HTTP.

#commit(query_params = nil) ⇒ Object

Send a commit

Called automatially by close_on_commit setting, but also can be called manually.

If settings solr_writer.commit_solr_update_args is set, will be used by default. That setting needs { commit: true } or {softCommit: true} if you want it to actually do a commit!

Optional query_params argument is the actual args to send, you must be sure to make it include "commit: true" or "softCommit: true" for it to actually commit! But you may want to include other params too, like optimize etc. query_param argument replaces setting solr_writer.commit_solr_update_args, they are not merged.

Examples:

@writer.commit

@writer.commit(softCommit: true)

@writer.commit(commit: true, optimize: true, waitFlush: false)

Parameters:

  • query_params (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

    optional query params to send to solr update. Default => "true"

  end

  @http_client.receive_timeout = original_timeout
end

#delete(id) ⇒ Object

Very beginning of a delete implementation. POSTs a delete request to solr for id in arg (value of Solr UniqueID field, usually id field).

Right now, does it inline and immediately, no use of background threads or batching. This could change.

Right now, if unsuccesful for any reason, will raise immediately out of here. Could raise any of the skippable_exceptions (timeouts, network errors), an exception will be raised right out of here.

Will use solr_writer.solr_update_args settings.

There is no built-in way to direct a record to be deleted from an indexing config file at the moment, this is just a loose method on the writer.

    raise RuntimeError.new("Could not delete #{id.inspect}, http response #{resp.status}: #{resp.body}")
  end

#delete_all!Object

Send a delete all query.

This method takes no params and will not automatically commit the deletes.

@writer.delete_all!

#flushObject

Not part of standard writer API.

If we are batching adds, and have some not-yet-written ones queued up -- flush em all to solr.

This should be thread-safe to call, but the write does take place in the caller's thread, no threading is done for you here, regardless of setting of solr_writer.thread_pool
