Solr和eXist-db集成

Question

We have XML files stored in an eXist-db XML database that are needed to be indexed and stored in Solr . The documentation does not mention eXist much. If someone here knows, please help. Much appreciated!

Answer 1

We've done something similar but not from eXist DB. You have a couple of options, you can:

• transform the XML that is outputted from your DB into the XML format that SOLR likes to consume using XSTL
• write a script to output CSV (or JSON ) from your DB and import into SOLR
• assuming there is a JDBC driver for eXist DB, use the SOLR data import handler

Answer 2

You can use Solr's URLDataSource to access eXist-db using REST. So instead of pushing data to Solr, you use Solr's DataImportHandler to read the data from eXist and mold it as it's going in with XPathEntityProcessor .
