I have installed Cloudera manager 5  and using it I installed Solr , Zookeper , HDFS and Yarn services.

1. Load data to the HDFS

2. Access the HDFS using Solr .

Hi Bala,

  I have found that very rarely is data truly unstructured.  What kind of data is it?  Typically, there is some form of structure to the data.  Can you send me a sample file kevin@cloudera.com

[#3]

Kevin , The data consists of Rich documents (txt , pdf , doc files) It does not hold any particular structure . Is it possible to extract the data out of this format ??

[#4]

Bala,

  It absolutely is.  I was just giving you a sample set of instructions so you could play with a CSV file ingest.  You will be looking to use Apache Tika.  The good news is there is a morphline to help you with that.  The bad new is you will have to write that morphline.  I would recommend starting here: https://github.com/cloudera/search#cdk-morphlines-solr-cell

[#5]

Kevin , in the earlier briefing you have mentioned about morphline . So should i proceed with the earlier steps you have asked me to follow . Or should i go through this first ? https://github.com/cloudera/search#cdk-morphlines-solr-cell

[#6]

You can follow the same steps I sent you, but you will need to switch to https://github.com/cloudera/search#cdk-morphlines-solr-cellcdk-morphline-solr-cell morphline instead of the CSV one in the example.

Is incremental load to Solr is possible? Meaning that If the dataset set that is going to load in the solr has some unique keys ( with or without update in other fields of the record) that are already present in the solr collection, I want existing records get updated and new record get inserted in Solr collection. Could you please let me know if it is possible in Solr or not. If yes, please advice in achieving the same.
