Problem using DIH templatetransformer to create uniqueKey
Hello,
templatetransformer behaves rather ungracefully if one of the replacement
fields is missing.
I am parsing a single XML document into multiple separate solr documents.
It turns out that none of the source documents fields can be used to create
a uniqueKey alone. I need to combine two, using template transformer as
follows:
<entity name="x"
dataSource="myfilereader"
processor="XPathEntityProcessor"
url="${jc.fileAbsolutePath}"
rootEntity="true"
stream="false"
forEach="/record | /record/mediaBlock"
transformer="DateFormatTransformer,TemplateTransformer,RegexTransformer"
>
<field column="fileAbsolutePath" template="${jc.fileAbsolutePath}" />
<field column="fileWebPath" regex="${dataimporter.request.installdir}(.*)" replaceWith="/ford$1" sourceColName="fileAbsolutePath"/>
<field column="id" template="${jc.fileAbsolutePath}${x.vurl}" />
<field column="vurl" xpath="/record/mediaBlock/mediaObject/@vurl" />
The trouble is that vurl is only defined as a child of "/record/mediaBlock"
so my attempt to create id, the uniqueKey fails for the parent document "/record"
I am hacking around with "TemplateTransformer.java" to sort this but was
wondering if there was a good reason for this behavior.
Regards.

the intent was to not to make a partial string if some of the variable
are missing
probably we can enhance TemplateTransformer by using an extra
attribute on the field
<field column="id" template="${jc.fileAbsolutePath}${x.vurl}"
ignoreMissingVariables="true"/>
then it can just resolve with whatever is available...

Folks,
Template transformer will fail to return if a variable if undefined,
however the regex transformer does still return. So where the
following would fail:-
<field column="id" template="${jc.fileAbsolutePath}${x.vurl}" />
This can be used instead:-
<field column="id" regex=(.*)" relpaceWith="$1${x.vurl}" sourceColName="fileAbsolutePath" />
So I guess we have the best of both worlds!

Hmmm. Just gave that a go! No luck
But how many layers of defaults do we need?

What about having the template transformer support ${field:default}
syntax? I'm assuming it doesn't support that currently right? The
replace stuff in the config files does though.

it is not really useful. Solr would automatically fill up with default values.

Paul,
Following up your usenet sussgetion:
<field column="id" template="${jc.fileAbsolutePath}${x.vurl}"
ignoreMissingVariables="true"/>
and to add more to what I was thinking...
if the field is undefined in the input document, but the schema.xml
does allow a default value, then TemplateTransformer can use the
default value. If there is no default value defined in schema.xml
then it can fail as at present. This would allow "" or any other
value to be fed into TemplateTransformer, and still enable avoidance
of the partial strings you referred to.

Looking at TemplateString.java I see that left to itself fillTokens would
replace a missing variable with "". It is an extra check in TemplateTransformer
that is throwing the warning and stopping the row being returned. Commenting
out the check seems to solve my problem.
Having done this, an undefined replacement string in TemplateTransformer
is replaced with "". However a neater fix would probably involve making
use of the default value which can be assigned to a row? in schema.xml.
