All,
I've been working lately on bootstrapping a Solr core from within my
application. The source language is Java so I'm using SolrJ and I must
say, it's /very/ straightforward to use it for things like performing
queries and adding documents to a core, but outside of that, it's very
difficult to figure out how anything is supposed to work.
I have figured out how to query the schema and wade through the morass
of nested NamedList<?>, ArrayList<?>, Map.Entry<String,Object>, etc. to
actually read the defined fields so I can perform a "diff" against the
complete list of expected fields.
Now I'm trying to do the equivalent of:
curl --post '{ "add-field":{"name":"first", "type":"text_general",
"stored":true}}' [url]
I can't for the life of me figure out how to actually pass the request
entity (aka POST body) to the API, though.
Here's what I've got:
req = new GenericSolrRequest(METHOD.POST, "/" + coreName + "/schema", null);
// req.setRequestContent("{ \"add-field\":{\"name\":\"first\",
\"type\":\"text_general\", \"stored\":true}}");
req.process(solr);
So, I can already do a GET, but a POST? I tried looking around the API
and I'm just not seeing it.
Any ideas?
