Setup

You can try the framework and follow the tutorial without modifying your existing SolrCloud installation using the pre-built Docker container. More information here.

This guide assumes you already have a working SolrCloud instance.

1. Copy the project's jar in a folder and configure your solrconfig.xml accordingly, eg:

<lib dir="/opt/solr/solr-5.2.1/custom-libs/" regex=".*\.jar" />

2. Configure the plugins loader:

    <str>examples.alba.books</str>
   

and add it to the standard request handler:

 <requestHandler name="standard" class="solr.SearchHandler">

   ...

   <arr name="first-components">

     <str>loader</str>

   </arr>

 </requestHandler>

3. Configure the main components:

    <transformer name="alba" class="alba.solr.transformers.Transformer" />
   
    <valueSourceParser name="alba" class="alba.solr.core.DynamicValueSourceParser"/>
   
    <queryParser name="alba" class="alba.solr.core.DynamicQueryParser" />
   
    <queryResponseWriter name="alba" class="alba.solr.core.AlbaResponseWriter" />
   

Of course you can choose a different name instead of 'alba'.

Please refer to the albabooks-solr-collection repo for a complete example.
