EHRI Solr Configuration & Tools

This project contains:

• A test harness for EHRI's Solr search engine configuration
• A tool for converting data from the EHRI rest backend to Solr format

The test harness also provides for building a tar file containing the additional libraries Solr requires given our configuration (language detection, Polish stemming, etc). Currently these can not be automatically deployed.

Building:

To build both a standalone jar for the indexer tool, and the set of auxiliary Solr libraries, run:

mvn package

To build one or other of the modules, use -pl <module-name>, i.e:

mvn package -pl index-data-converter # will generate the jar indexer/target/index-data-converter-1.0.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar

or

mvn package -pl solr-config # will generate the tar solr-config/target/solr-config-1.0.2-solr-core.tar.gz

The fabfile.py handles some deployment tasks, viewable by running fab --list. These include:

    deploy          Deploy the indexer tool, copy the Solr config, set the permissions
    copy-solr-core  Copy the Solr lib, plus core config files to the server
    reload          Reload Solr config files by restarting the portal core.
