Index and search on PDF text using Solr

[vascaino90 <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hello, i'm new in Solr and i have a big problem.
I have many text documents in PDF format (more than 10000) and I need to
create a site with this PDFs. In this site, I have to create a search by any
terms in this PDFs.
I don't have idea how to start.
Anyone can help me?

Thank you so much.

see the section in the Solr Reference Guide: "Uploading Data with Solr
Cell using Apache Tika" here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Uploading+Data+with+Solr+Cell+using+Apache+Tika

to get a start.

The basic idea is to use Apache Tika to parse the PDF file and then
stuff the data into Solr. There are a
lot of tweaks you'll need to do, particularly mapping the meta-data
fields to Solr fields, but the above
should get you started. Once you get that operating, you can refine
your approach.

I'm personally not a fan of doing all this on the Solr server in a
_production_ environment unless it's a
one-time operation, here's a writeup of why I think that and a model
Java program that'd allow you to
do this on a Java client. It uses some older Solr classes (i.e.
CloudSolrServer is not CloudSolrClient)
but it should give you a starting place if you want to do something
similar. It has both a database
bit and a Tika bit but the database bits can just be taken out,
there's nothing about parsing the files
with Tika that requires it.
