solr-ruby

Features

• Solr HTTP communication handling

Our working task list: solr-ruby/ToDo

Trying out solr-ruby

• Install the solr-ruby gem gem install solr-ruby or check out solr-ruby from Subversion svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/trunk/client/ruby/solr-ruby

• Launch Solr: java -Dsolr.solr.home=<path to solr-ruby's solr directory> -jar start.jar

  • You must have Solr 1.2 already installed. This example assumes you are using the schema found under <path to solr-ruby/solr/conf directory> .

• (in a separate shell) Launch irb (be sure to include the solr-ruby lib directory in your load path):

  require 'solr'

  # connect to the solr instance
  conn = Solr::Connection.new('http://localhost:8983/solr', :autocommit => :on)

  # add a document to the index
  conn.add(:id => 123, :title_text => 'Lucene in Action')

  # update the document
  conn.update(:id => 123, :title_text => 'Solr in Action')

  # print out the first hit in a query for 'action'
  response = conn.query('action')
  print response.hits[0]

  # iterate through all the hits for 'action'
  conn.query('action') do |hit|
    puts hit.inspect
  end

  # delete document by id
  conn.delete(123)
