Solr help: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/quickstart.html

Distributed search simple (without solr cloud): https://wiki.apache.org/solr/DistributedSearch

To test locally:

1. Copy 'example' directory as 'node2'

2. Change solr port number from 8983 to 8985 in files: ./node2/etc/jetty.xml, ./node2/exampledocs/post.sh

3. Run to instances of solr: one in 'example' direcotry and other in 'node2' directory

4. To run solr using jetty: Go to solr-x.x.x/example folder and run:

        java -server -jar start.jar &

Server is started at http://localhost:8983/solr

5. Now go to any of the solr admin panels in browser, select 'collection1' and query using /selectd as request handler for distributed search

6. STOP JETTY: Get pid using:

        lsof -i :8983

Send SIGINT:

        kill -2 <pid>

Note: For running on multiple machines just change server(shards) names in solrconfig.xml file (no need to change port then)

1. solrconfig.xml configuration: Look at the file: ./node2/solr/collection1/conf/solrconfig.xml For handling distributed search, a search handler 'selectd' is added with information about shards.

2. schema.xml file: ./node2/solr/collection1/conf/schema.xml Edit this file to match with the fields and their types in the dataset

Solr can be queried via REST clients cURL, wget, Chrome POSTMAN, etc., as well as via the native clients available for many programming languages. The Solr Admin UI includes a query builder interface - see the collection1 query tab at http://localhost:8983/solr/#/collection1/query. Sample rest query url: http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=*:*&wt=json&indent=true

To restrict fields returned in the response, use the fl param, which takes a comma-separated list of field names.
