I’m new to java, but i need to use solr as full text search

  • 0

I’m new to java, but i need to use solr as “full text search” engine…
I was able to install it and run it successfully, but I need to use the “suggester component”

Here is my suggester configuration:

<searchComponent name="suggester" class="solr.SpellCheckComponent">
        <lst name="spellchecker" >
            <str name="name">suggester</str>
            <str name="classname">org.apache.solr.spelling.suggest.Suggester</str>
            <str name="lookupImpl">org.apache.solr.spelling.suggest.tst.TSTLookupFactory</str>
            <str name="field">name</str>
            <!-- <str name="threshold">2</str> -->
        </lst>
    </searchComponent>

    <requestHandler class="org.apache.solr.handler.component.SearchHandler" name="/suggester">
        <lst name="defaults">
            <str name="spellcheck"  >true</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.dictionary">suggester</str>
            <str name="spellcheck.count">10</str>
        </lst>
        <arr name="component" >
            <str>suggester</str>
        </arr>
    </requestHandler>

I’m running it with command java -jar start.jar ( like this website ) and get the following error

INFO: Closing Searcher@1220b36 main
    fieldValueCache{lookups=0,hits=0,hitratio=0.00,inserts=0,evictions=0,size=0,warmupTime=0,cumulative_lookups=0,cumulative_hits=0,cumulative_hitratio=0.00,cumulative_inserts=0,cumulative_evictions=0}

I looked up the class and I found it in $SOLR_HOME/dist/apache-solr-core-[solr version].jar
so I tried to run Solr with command

java -cp $SOLR_HOME/dist/apache-solr-core-3.6.1 -jar start.jar

But i got the same error

    You don’t need to customize anything in order to use the Suggester, neither to find that class, which is already included in Solr. I would start with a fresh downloaded Solr 3.6.1 (or just revert the changes you made). The problem is in your configuration, which contains a line feed between the name of the class and the end of the xml element </str>. That’s why SOlr can’t find that class. Just remove the line feed and everything will work!
