Using Nutch solrindex to index to multiple cores?

Question

Is there parameter in the bin/nutch solrindex command to indicate which Solr core to index to?

Answer 1

I'm not aware of any core parameter. You should just include the name of the core in your solr url parameter like this: http://localhost:8983/solr/core0.

That makes perfect sense now. – Mooney

This definitely works, don't be put off by the fact that you see a 404 when you access localhost:8983/solr/core_name, this is the way to choose a specific Solr core for your Apache Nutch spider...thanks – Bastardize

just add /admin to it to avoid getting 404. Nutch will use the select and update request handlers, adding their path to the configured solr core url. – Pythagoreanism

Worked for me. I initially used host:8983/solr/#/core_name, but redirected me to index.html and failed with 405 method not supported. – Eton

Answer 2

In nutch 1.4, this is what I use to index to different cores:

bin/nutch crawl urls/url1 -solr http://localhost:8983/solr/core1 -depth 10 -topN 10000
