Indexing odt files

[Derek Croxton <cr...@yahoo.com>]

Requesting help for someone way outside of his comfort zone. :)

I'm trying to use solr to index several hundred OpenDocument files.  I 
downloaded and installed the example site and got it to work on the same files.  
I modified post.sh to change the mime type to vnd.oasis.opendocument.text (and I 
also tried x-vnd.oasis.opendocument.text).  When I try to post it, I get the 
error, "Error 400 Invalid UTF-8 start byte 0xba (at char #12, byte #-1)".

The best I can tell is that it is trying to parse it as an xml document, not an 
odt document, because when I do a hexdump of the odt file, I do see a character 
0xba at approximately the right position, but it isn't there in the extracted 
files.

I may be overlooking some configuration setting, or who knows what.  I 
understand the solr set up very poorly.  If anyone can help me, I would be 
grateful.

 Sincerely, 
Derek

Hi Derek,

Simple Post Tool is only for posting xml docs. If you want to index
OpenDocument files then you have to use ExtractingRequestHandler (AKA solr
cell).
