[nodebb-plugin-solr] Solr search plugin

Bin

Just tried searching some Chinese words in this forum, it does work! Wow!

julian

Thanks @Bin! One of the aims from this plugin is to allow non-latin language forums to have search, since dbsearch is phonetics based. Glad to hear it's working

@julian Wow, we will try it very soon. Thanks a lot.

Bin

Btw does this plugin work with 0.4.3(the latest release)?

julian

@Bin, this plugin works with the latest commits of NodeBB, so it is not compatible with v0.4.3. If you're on the master branch, a git pull is sufficient to bring you up to date.

Edit: This commit: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/b2ece27263fffbd603f219a7c3258a06dc329a89#diff-ed75d775004d7f6bf533c07c815c33ab

So if you've pulled within the past 7 days, you're good

Have updated Chinese translation. http://nodebb.org.cn/topic/5/nodebb-plugin-solr-solr-search-插件

Will be keeping an eye on this, was a pain setting up db search once I'd imported my forum, so will have to see how this one copes with the initial indexing.

julian

For reference, it indexed this forum (about 12k posts) in about 4 seconds.

I was thinking about it for long time Solr, Elastic search. Is this forum now using solr ?

julian

Yes, @kinderjaje, when v0.1.0 was released (yesterday afternoon), I implemented it onto this forum, you can test it right now.

@julian I want to use this plugin and I have updated lastest NodeBB and Solr, but when I run ./nodebb dev, I got these warns:

warn: [plugins/nodebb-plugin-solr] This plugin may not be compatible with your version of NodeBB. This may cause unintended behaviour or crashing.
warn: [plugins/nodebb-plugin-solr] In the event of an unresponsive NodeBB caused by this plugin, run ./nodebb reset plugin="nodebb-plugin-solr".

And when I use this I got some other errors. So what shoud I do to make this work?

a_5mith

Pylon can safely ignore warns about plugin incompatibility, this usually means that at some point in the future, a hook will be removed in favour for another one.

What are the errors you see when trying to actually run solr?

trevor

So we have to install Solr first, correct?

How To Install Solr on Ubuntu 14.04 | DigitalOcean

Solr is a search engine platform based on Apache Lucene. It is written in Java and uses the Lucene library to implement indexing.

(www.digitalocean.com)

...then install the plugin?

Can't wait for the inline-topic searching!
-_-
Installation Problem:
When I try accessing the Solr page via ACP, it gives me a 404 error. Any thoughts?

@julian said:

npm install nodebb-plugin-solr

Maybe you should upgrade NodeBB to the latest.

trevor

@main It is updated to latest.

mani

I have the same problem before, but after update NodeBB and Solr plugin, it's gone. Have you updated all of that?

trevor

This is the error I'm getting:

warn: Plugin: /home/c/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-solr is corrupted or invalid. Please check plugin.json for errors.

I disabled all plugins @_@

I noticed theres a version difference in NPM and on Github.

@a_5mith I can't build index and when I search got this error:
