Adding callback url to data import handler...Is this possible?
Folks:
I am pretty happy with DIH -- it seems to work very well for my situation. Thanks!!!
The one issue I see has to do with the fact that I need to keep polling <<url>>/dataimport to check if the data import completed successfully. I need to know when/if the import is completed (successfully or otherwise) so that I can update appropriate structures in our app.
What I would like is something like what Google Checkout API offers -- a callback URL. That is, I should be able to pass along a URL to DIH. Once it has completed the import, it can invoke the provided URL. This provides a callback mechanism for those of us who don't have the liberty to change SOLR source code. We can then do the needful upon receiving this callback.
If this functionality is already provided in some form/fashion, I'd love to know.
All in all, great functionality that has significantly helped me out!
Cheers,
- Bill

If the JavaScript support enables me to invoke a URL, it's really OK with
me.

I would say the latter is more specific than the former.
People who are comfortable writing JAVA wouldn't need any of these but the
second best thing for others would be a capability to handle it in their own
applications. A url can be the simplest way to invoke things in respective
application. Doing it via javascript sounds like a round-about way of doing
it.

I can understand the concern that you do not wish to write Java code .
But a callback url is a very specific requirement. We plan to extend
javascript support to the EventListener callback . Will it help?

Hmmm ... I think this is a valid use case and it might be a good idea to
support it in someway.
I will post this thread on the dev-mailing list to seek opinion.

Thanks, Avlesh. Yes, I did take a look at the event listeners. As I
mentioned this would require us to write Java code.
Our app(s) are entirely windows/asp.net/C# so while we could add Java in a
pinch, we'd prefer to stick to using SOLR using its convenient REST-style
interfaces which makes no demand on our app environment.
Thanks again for your suggestion!
Cheers,
Bill
