Question

Creating a SOLR collection and collection configuration programatically

We need some SOLR collections for searching.

To this point, we create the collection via the admin page, and then

  • we configure the /dataimport in solrconfig.xml in the collection folder
  • we configure schema.xml in the collection folder
  • we configure data-config.xml for the /dataimport in the collection folder

Is there a way for all these steps to be done programatically?

I assume that the <cfcollection> tag creates a collection but does only what the admin interface does.

Is there a way to do all this configuration via cfms/cfcs?

Hi,

Yes, you can create and index the collection programmatically. You can use the cfcollection to create the collection and cfindex to index your items.

I see that the full import action does not work, and I assume I have to manually edit the xml files in the collection directory to full-import to work.

The problem is that CF hangs when trying to index (update action) a lot of data (and does not hang with full import if enabled via the xmls) (i already run with 2GBytes Xmx)
