active_record_sunspotter

Upgrade notes

Upgrading the sunspot family of gems from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0 has been a bit of a nightmare.

However

Both solr/conf/schema.xml and solr/conf/solrconfig.xml differ between the 2 versions, so update your app’s.

Once updated, the mods in active_record_sunspotter.rb can be removed. Also, remove the added require line in the Rakefile for sunspot rake tasks.

Create a solr/solr.xml to look like so …

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<solr persistent="false">
 <cores adminPath="/admin/cores" host="${host:}" hostPort="${jetty.port:}">
   <core name="production"  instanceDir="." dataDir="data/production"/>
   <core name="development" instanceDir="." dataDir="data/development"/>
   <core name="test"        instanceDir="." dataDir="data/test"/>
 </cores>
</solr>

… or use the new one, but reorganize the solr directory.

config/sunspot.yml needs an absolute solr_home for each environment, and a path too

solr_home: /Users/jakewendt/github_repo/jakewendt/active_record_sunspotter/solr
path: /solr/production

Apparently, solr.xml’s dataDir and sunspot.yml’s path must match. Or not?

Rather confused on this issue. The command (ps | grep solr) shows a solr.data.dir of /solr/data/development even though

solr.xml ...
   <core name="development" instanceDir="." dataDir="development/data"/>

sunspot.yml
   path: /solr/development

Seems to use both data/development and development/data for some reason?

REALLY NEED TO MAKE THIS UPGRADABLE! Not Upgrade-and-start-overable!

I suppose it could be another folder, but you’d need to modify the gem’s solr/contexts/solr.xml file.

In 2.1.1, the tempDirectory is removed so this last mod is unnecessary.
