How to add data to the solr's schema

Question

I try to add new data to the solandra according to the solr's schema but I can't find any example about this. My ultimate goal is to integrate solandra with django-solr.

What I understand about the insert and updating in the solr based on the original solr and django-solr is to send the new data on the http protocol to the decent path, for example:

http://localhost:8983/solandra/wikipedia/update/json

However, when I access the url, the browser keep telling me HTTP ERROR: 404.

Can you help me understand the step to add new data and delete the data in the solandra environment?

I also have a look at the reuters-demo, but the procedure to insert data is process in the file of reutersimporter.jar, but I can't see the source as well. So Please help me to understand how the system work in terms of data inserting and deleting.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Since you are using the JSON update handler, this UpdateJSON page on the Solr Wiki has some good examples of inserting data using the JSON handler via curl. Also, the Indexing Data section of the Solr Tutorial shows how you can insert data using the post.jar file that is included with the Solr source.

Answer 2

Are you creating the solr schema.xml and solrconfig.xml and posting it to solandra? If you add the JSON handler then this should work. The reutersdemo uses solrj. django-solr should work as well.
