Description

Provides support for Fixed Width and Delimited Files without needing to write a Transformer.

The following xml properties are supported with this version of LineEntityProcessor:

For fixed width files:

• colDef[#]

For Delimited files:

• fieldDelimiterRegex
• firstLineHasFieldnames
• delimitedFieldNames
• delimitedFieldTypes

These properties are described in the api documentation. See patch.

When combined with the cache improvements from SOLR-2382 this allows you to join a flat file entity with other entities (sql, etc).
