@Vladimir Zlatkin I just tried out your demo, there are a few things I got stuck on. I was not able to download the custom dashboard via your URL due to the parenthesis. I wrapped the URL in double quotes and it worked. Then I was having issues creating a collection hl7_messages, is creating solr directory in zookeeper necessary? I created it anyway but I also had to refer to Ali's nifi twitter tutorial for reference in terms of Solr. here's link https://community.hortonworks.com/content/kbentry/1282/sample-hdfnifi-flow-to-push-tweets-into-solrbanana.html I finally was able to create hl7_messages collection but upon template execution, I'm getting errors in Solr that the collection doesn't exist, hence asking you whether zk step is necessary? Will do further digging. Ensure no log files owned by root (current sandbox version has files owned by root in log dir which causes problems when starting solr) chown -R solr:solr /opt/lucidworks-hdpsearch/solr Run solr setup steps as solr user su solr Setup the Banana dashboard by copying default.json to dashboard dir cd /opt/lucidworks-hdpsearch/solr/server/solr-webapp/webapp/banana/app/dashboards/ mv default.json default.json.ori ...

@Ram D ah ok, yes in this example you will get FQDN of the server name for URL. I didn't know you can do that in curl command but basically if you run hostname -f as Linux command, you will get FQDN of your host. In context of the curl command, it will populate the URL programmatically with FQDN instead of using the node name explicitly. ... View more

@Ram D where did you get this example? ... View more

it means fully qualified domain name of the host. I think it was just to explain that full FQDN goes in the URL. I don't think it works as valid curl command as is but I've been surprised before @Ram D ... View more
