[SOLVED] Installing SOLR with Liferay 6

[12年前 に alex wom によって更新されました。]

I'm using Liferay 6.0.6 in tomcat bundle and I'm trying to install SOLR on my MAC/OS

SOLR installation
-----------------------
I unzipped apache-solr-3.1.0.
I put apache-solr-3.1.0.war in example.
I prepared solr.xml as specified in http://www.liferay.com/en/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Integrate%20Solr%20with%20Liferay%20portal;jsessionid=8DA52AA57C6D9058D229741DF4C76B69.node-1
and I used absolute path as in the following.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Context docBase="$SOLR_HOME/example/apache-solr-3.1.0.war" debug="0" crossContext="true">
<Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="$SOLR_HOME/example/solr" override="true"/>
</Context>
Moreover solr/home has been set to $SOLR_HOME/example/solr because if I do as suggested in the post, using $SOLR_HOME/example I cannot raise SOLR admin page with the URL http://localhost:8080/solr/admin.
I updated tomcat/bin/setenv.sh as in the following:
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Duser.timezone=GMT -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dsolr.solr.home=$SOLR_HOME/example/solr/data"
I put SOLR plugin schema.xml in $SOLR_HOME/example/solr/conf

SOLR plugin installation
--------------------------------
I open the war (importing with eclipse)
I deleted from lib solr-common.jar and solr-solrj.jar and I put in place of them apache-solr-solrj-3.1.0.jar
I exported the war in liferay-portal-6.0.6/deploy
I started liferay and I receive an exception:

After this anyway I try to index contents by publishing them, or by indexing all together using the Reindex all search indexes in the admin panel: it seems to index but not using SOLR. If I go in the SOLR admin page I see 0 indexed documents: in the admin page the solr home seems ok (SolrHome=/Users/ale/Documents/CINI/Liferay6/apache-solr-3.1.0/example/solr/./ ).
I would like understand if SOLR doesn't work because I did something wrong in configuration, or if the problem is the exception, and SOLR is not correctly plugged in and Lucene is the search engine I'm using. In both cases how can I correct the problem?
Help me thanks.
Alex

Anyone is available to help me?

The problem you are seeing is caused by this exception

Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory

The latest version of solrj depends on slf4j so you need to include that as a dependency by changing the portal-dependency-jars property in liferay-plugin-package.properties to this

portal-dependency-jars=\
    commons-codec.jar,\
    commons-httpclient.jar,\
    slf4j-api.jar,\
    slf4j-log4j12.jar

Unfortunately the 6.0.6 plugin has some issues it wont work properly unless you make some changes to SolrIndexSearcherImpl

Here's a patch for that :

Also the schema.xml included in the plugin did not work out for me , right now i am using the attached schema
but i havent't used it long enough to know if this will finally solve all issues i had with the solr plugin

[12年前 に Hitoshi Ozawa によって更新されました。]

Do you know if there's an issue on this in the jira? I remember modifying the code myself too but wondered because the question came up here.

[12年前 に jelmer kuperus によって更新されました。]

As usual the code change i made they already implemented on the trunk so i didn't raise an issue. for the schema issue i created LPS-17569

The solr plugin kind of feels flawed by design though. since you have to know in advance which fields will be indexed and which of those fields should be multivalued. so if you install a new plugin it might now work correctly unless you update your schema. and worse you might not get it to work at all

suppose you have two plugins that both write to the myid field , plugin 1 writes a single value to it and uses the field to sort, and plugin 2 writes multiple values to this field.

You'd now have an issue

Sorry but, even if SOLR seems to work (I updated all as you suggested, also schema.xml to avoid exception on delete documents), when I start the system I receive this without exception...

Check if you have multiple log4j jar files in different webcontexts..

I had to use Apache SOLR version 1.4.x to avoid compatibility errors between solr and solr-web.

[12年前 に Farrel Chen によって更新されました。]

How did you solve this problem? I have exactly the same problem integrating solr 3.4 with liferay 6.0.6.

I tried updating liferay-plugin-package.properties(the one under webapps/solr-web) and patching SolrIndexSearcherImpl as suggested by Jelmer, but that didn't solve my problem. Please help. Thanks a bunch!

Hi,

This might not be useful anymore but just wanted to add what I did when I had similar problem. Like it was pointed out here, http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-9376?focusedCommentId=137451&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-137451, I started having same problem after I started using log4j logging in the service layer. I removed all my references to log4j at service layer, changed them to use Liferay logging, redeployed the portlet plugins. This solved the problem for me.
