ClassCastException ExtractingRequestHandler while trying to index PDF in Solr

Question

I'm facing some difficulty indexing PDF in Solr. Initially I had a lot of JAR missing, which I included all (specially from "dist" and "contrib\\extraction" folder. But now when I try to index my PDF I'm facing this ClassCastException ExtractingRequestHandler. Have anyone encountered this before or have any idea what's going wrong?

Answer 1

Try putting solr-cell.jar in your classpath. ExtractingRequestHandler class is inside solr-cell jar file.

Put it under /webapp/lib folder followed by restart.
