Michael Joyce commented on NUTCH-1987:
--------------------------------------

Hi folks,

I'll have a patch up in a bit for this. I think my current plan to minimize the number of changes that I'm shoving into a single patch is to:

* Add solr.server.url to nutch-default and set the value to some sane default (http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/)
* Make the 'index' calls in the bin/nutch script generic and slightly change the call format.
* Update some variable names and echos in the bin/crawl script so it doesn't only mention Solr and confuse people

I envision a call being something similar to this after these changes:
{code}
# Run the indexer
bin/crawl urls/ crawl/ "run_indexer" 1

# Don't run the indexer
bin/crawl urls/ crawl/ 1
{code}

I don't think this is necessarily the ideal solution but it minimizes calling formats for people with existing setups and only really requires that a single configuration value is added/updated. Note, this change obviously requires some/many documentation updates. I'm more than happy to help with those as well but I wasn't including them in this ticket.

Thoughts?

> The crawl script makes it a bit challenging to use an indexer that isn't Solr. For instance, when I want to use the indexer-elastic plugin I still need to call the crawler script with a fake Solr URL otherwise it will skip the indexing step all together.
> {code}
> bin/crawl urls/ crawl/ "http://fakeurl.com:9200" 1
> {code}
> It would be nice to keep configuration for the Solr indexer in the conf files (to mirror the elastic search indexer conf and others) and to make the indexing parameter simply toggle whether indexing does or doesn't occur instead of also trying to configure the indexer at the same time.
