How to migrate for Solr 3.x to cloud Solr 4.1


Hi All ,

Below given steps with help you migrating from solr 3.x to solr cloud 4.1.0-

1)You’ll need to add a parameter to your solrconfig.xml file -
section.(Error in xpath:java.lang.RuntimeException: solrconfig.xml missing 
luceneMatchVersion)
Below is the setting-
<luceneMatchVersion>LUCENE_CURRENT</luceneMatchVersion>

 If you however are trying to load index files that are more than one version older, you may

have to use one of the other values.

Suggestion Link - http://drupal.org/node/1392940
Comment 10 suggests in the link that LUCENE_CURRENT will make it backword compatible.

2)org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: getSolrConfigFromZK failed for core0 solrconfig.xml
We need to remove the <mainindex> and <indexdefaults> section in the solrconfig.xml .

3)org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Schema will not work with SolrCloud mode:

_version_field must exist in schema
We need to create a version field in the schema.
<field name="_version_" type="long" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="false"/>
In the field type section we need to put long field definition also
<fieldType name="long" class="solr.TrieLongField" precisionStep="0"

positionIncrementGap="0"/>

4)Update the UpdateHandler in the solrconfig.xml for Transaction Logs-
   <updateHandler class="solr.DirectUpdateHandler2">
            <updateLog>
                  <str name="dir">${solr.data.dir:}</str>
                      </updateLog>
         </updateHandler>

5)You must have a replication handler called /replication defined:
<requestHandler name="/replication" class="solr.ReplicationHandler" startup="lazy" />

6)You must have a realtime get handler called /get defined:
<requestHandler name="/get" class="solr.RealTimeGetHandler">
      <lst name="defaults">
        <str name="omitHeader">true</str>
     </lst>
    </requestHandler>

7)You must have the admin handlers defined:
 <requestHandler name="/admin/" class="solr.admin.AdminHandlers" />

8)Always Start the slave in the sudo mode else there will be exceptions since the slave solr
will not be able to copy-paste some files.
