Hi all

I am testing CDH 4.4 on cluster with 25 nodes, already installed cloudera search, I have running solr servers correctly

but have problem with adding collections, I generated a skeleton of the instance directory:

 

[solr@hadoop ~]$ solrctl instancedir --list
collection1

 

after that creating collection gives an error:

 

[solr@hadoop ~]$ solrctl collection --create collection1 -s 2
Error: A call to SolrCloud WEB APIs failed: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Hi @shota

 

We will help you figure out the problem! 🙂

 

FYI,  if you are using CM; you needn't install any Solr packages manually. CM does the complete setup for you.

 

From what i understand from your previous comment, you installed some solr packages manually and just to make sure we are on right setup, executing "$ ps -elf | grep solr" should result in listing only one solr process running in your system.

 

Once you have confirmed this, you can try refreshing the entire service.. (Assuming you have no stored data in Solr)

  • Stop the Solr service from CM
  • Restart the ZooKeeper service from CM
  • Issue this command "$ solrctl init --force"
  • Start the Solr service back from CM

Now you can try creating some collections..

Hello,

 

Just to clarify, are you trying to do:

 

sudo apt-get install solr-server and not manager

 

or:

 

sudo apt-get install solr-server

 

Can you attach the contents of this file:

 

/etc/apt/sources.list

 

Thanks

Chris
