Description
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/quickstart.html currently says...
Solr's install includes a handful of Solr XML formatted files with example data (mostly mocked tech product data). NOTE: This tech product data has a more domain-specific configuration, including schema and browse UI. The bin/solr script includes built-in support for this by running bin/solr start -e techproducts which not only starts Solr but also then indexes this data too (be sure to bin/solr stop -all before trying it out). However, the example below assumes Solr was started with bin/solr start -e cloud to stay consistent with all examples on this page, and thus the collection used is "gettingstarted", not "techproducts".
But the assumption at the end of this paragraph – that the sample techproduct documents can be added to the existing gettingstarted collection – is fundementally flawed based on how the early sections of the tutorial are written.
With a completley clean, unused, empty gettingstarted demo collection, bin/post -c gettingstarted example/exampledocs/*.xml does work (on master anyway) but if you have been following along with teh tutorial you don't have a completley empty gettingstarted collection – you will already have at a minimum the files in "docs", but also the user has been enocuraged to index arbitrary files from their computer...
Indexing a directory of "rich" files
...
bin/post -c gettingstarted docs/
...
To index your own data, re-run the directory indexing command pointed to your own directory of documents. For example, on a Mac instead of docs/ try ~/Documents/ or ~/Desktop/ ...
...once the user has done that, it is not safe to assume that the techproduct sample documents can definitely be imported cleanly
