Sean, I did not execute the previous 2 statements because the tutorial said not to (see copied text below). I will execute the other steps and try again.... Thanks..!! Dave. Creating an empty configuration For the sake of this tutorial, you won't need to actually execute steps 1 or 2, as we have included the configuration and the schema file in your cluster already. They can be reviewed by exploring /opt/examples/flume/solr_configs. If you were doing this on your own, you would generate the configs by executing the following command: [cloudera@quickstart ~]$ solrctl --zk quickstart:2181/solr instancedir --generate solr_configs You don't need to do this for this tutorial. We have already generated the configuration for you. This instruction is here in case you want to create your own index. The result of this command would be a skeleton configuration that you could then customize to your liking. The primary thing that you would ordinarily be customizing is the conf/schema.xml, which we cover in the next step. Edit your schema As mentioned previously, we have already generated the configuration files for you. You can view the modified sample schema here. The most common area that you would be interested in is the <fields></fields> section. From this area you can define the fields that are present and searchable in your index.
