Sample data

Solr comes with some sample data in the example/exampledocs/ folder. You should see a collection of files like this:

books.csv		ipod_other.xml		money.xml		post.jar		test_utf8.sh
books.json		ipod_video.xml		monitor.xml		post.sh			utf8-example.xml
gb18030-example.xml	manufacturers.xml	monitor2.xml		sd500.xml		vidcard.xml
hd.xml			mem.xml			mp500.xml		solr.xml

Using the post.jar java file, we'll add these all to the Solr index.

If it's not running, restart Solr (with the command from the last lesson) and issue the following command from the exampledocs/ folder:

java -jar post.jar *.xml

You should output like this on the command line:

SimplePostTool version 1.5
Posting files to base url http://localhost:8983/solr/update using content-type application/xml..
POSTing file gb18030-example.xml

POSTing file monitor2.xml
POSTing file mp500.xml
POSTing file sd500.xml
POSTing file solr.xml
POSTing file utf8-example.xml
POSTing file vidcard.xml
14 files indexed.

You should now have data your installation of Solr. Follow this URL for a blank query to test that some data is returned. You should see an XML document that looks like this...

(Note that XML is the default output. If you're more comfortable working in another format, you can specify a format writer with the wt parameter. E.g. http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=%3A&wt=json&indent=true.)

Let's take a few minutes to unpack this:

The whole response is being returned within a response element. Within this, there are two elements, a responseHeader and the result. The responseHeader is returning your query back to you:

<lst name="responseHeader">
  <int name="status">0</int>
  <int name="QTime">0</int>
  <lst name="params">
    <str name="q">*:*</str>
  </lst>
</lst>

The params element is most notable for us - it repeats the content of your search query.

The result element contains all of the documents matching our search, denoted with the doc tag. Solr calls it's records "documents", so remember that term.

Next let's take a look at the administrative interface.
