The files I want to do indexing is stored on the server(I don't need to crawl). /path/to/files/ the sample HTML file is
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta name="product_id" content="11"/>
<meta name="assetid" content="10001"/>
<meta name="title" content="title of the article"/>
<meta name="type" content="0xyzb"/>
<meta name="category" content="article category"/>
<meta name="first" content="details of the article"/>
<h4>title of the article</h4>
<p class="link"><a href="#link">How cite the Article</a></p>
<p class="list">
<span class="listterm">Length: </span>13 to 15 feet<br>
<span class="listterm">Height to Top of Head: </span>up to 18 feet<br>
<span class="listterm">Weight: </span>1,200 to 4,300 pounds<br>
<span class="listterm">Diet: </span>leaves and branches of trees<br>
<span class="listterm">Number of Young: </span>1<br>
<span class="listterm">Home: </span>Sahara<br>

I have added the request handler in solrconfing.xml file.
<requestHandler name="/dataimport" class="org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.DataImportHandler">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="config">/path/to/data-config.xml</str>
</lst>
My data-config.xml is look like this
<dataConfig>
<dataSource type="FileDataSource" />
<document>
<entity name="f" processor="FileListEntityProcessor" baseDir="/path/to html/files/" fileName=".*html" recursive="true" rootEntity="false" dataSource="null">
<field column="plainText" name="text"/>
</entity>
</document>
</dataConfig>
I have kept the default schema.xml file and added the following piece of code to schema.xml file.
<field name="product_id" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="assetid" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true" />
<field name="title" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="type" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="category" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="first" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<uniqueKey>assetid</uniqueKey>
when I tried to do the full import after setting it up it shows that all html files fetched. But when I search in SOLR it didn't show me any result. Anyone have idea what could be possible cause?
My understanding is all the files fetched correctly but not indexed in SOLR. Does anyone know how can I indexed those meta tags and content of the HTML file in SOLR?
your reply will be appreciated.
Did you mean to have fileName="*.html" in your data-config.xml? You now have fileName=".*html"
I am pretty certain Solr won't know how to translate your meta fields from your html into index fields. I haven't tried.
I have created programs to read (x)html (using xpath), however. This will create a formatted xml file to send to \update. At this point, you should be able use dataimporthandler to look for that formatted xml file(s).
Here is a full example converting HTML to text and extracting relevant metadata:
The easiest way is to use
post
tool from bin directory. It will do all job automatically. Here is example./post -c conf1 /path/to/files/*
More info is here
You can use Solr Extracting Request Handler to feed Solr with the HTML file and extract contents from the html file. e.g. at link
Solr uses Apache Tika to extract contents from the uploaded html file
Nutch with Solr is a wider solution if you want to Crawl websites and have it indexed.
