Mis Tigi commented on SOLR-469:
-------------------------------

Thanks for everyone involved for this wonderful contribution. I find it extremely useful, saves lots of time and allows has an added benefit of rapid prototyping.

One of the initial goals for this project was to be able to schedule automatic imports at regular intervals. I cannot find any reference to it beyond the initial goals. Has this been implemented ? If not any suggestions what is best way to accomplish that ?

I also have a question if documents deletes is something that this handler can do or it should be done outside of it.

> We need a RequestHandler Which can import data from a DB or other dataSources into the Solr index .Think of it as an advanced form of SqlUpload Plugin (SOLR-103).
> The way it works is as follows.
>     * Provide a configuration file (xml) to the Handler which takes in the necessary SQL queries and mappings to a solr schema
>           - It also takes in a properties file for the data source configuraution
>     * Given the configuration it can also generate the solr schema.xml
>     * It is registered as a RequestHandler which can take two commands do-full-import, do-delta-import
>           -  do-full-import - dumps all the data from the Database into the index (based on the SQL query in configuration)
>           - do-delta-import - dumps all the data that has changed since last import. (We assume a modified-timestamp column in tables)
>     * It provides a admin page
>           - where we can schedule it to be run automatically at regular intervals
>           - It shows the status of the Handler (idle, full-import, delta-import)
