Adding Multiple JSON Documents

[John Davis <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I was looking at the solr documentation for indexing multiple documents via
json and noticed inconsistency in the docs.

Should the POST url be /update/*json/docs *instead of just /update. It does
look like former does work, unless both will work just fine?

<https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_3/uploading-data-with-index-handlers.html#adding-multiple-json-documents>

Adding multiple documents at one time via JSON can be done via a JSON Array
of JSON Objects, where each object represents a document:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
'http://localhost:8983/solr/my_collection/*update*' --data-binary '[
{    "id": "1",    "title": "Doc 1"  },  {    "id": "2",    "title":
"Doc 2"  }]'

Hi John,

This may be useful:
https://www.slideshare.net/arafalov/json-in-solr-from-top-to-bottom
(there is the video of the session at the end too).

Basically, we have two ways to process JSON and sometimes they look
very similar and you have to be very deliberate in indicating which
one is the correct way.

Regards,
   Alex.

Hi John,

I believe the documentation there is correct.  That is: those are two
different "update" APIs.  /update takes a JSON array of potentially
multiple docs, /update/json/docs takes either a JSON array of multiple
docs, or a single document not wrapped in the JSON array syntax.

Best,

Jason
