Package org.apache.solr.schema

Class ExternalFileFieldReloader

java.lang.Object

org.apache.solr.core.AbstractSolrEventListener

org.apache.solr.schema.ExternalFileFieldReloader

All Implemented Interfaces:

SolrEventListener, NamedListInitializedPlugin

public class ExternalFileFieldReloader
extends AbstractSolrEventListener

An event listener to reload ExternalFileFields for new searchers.

Opening a new IndexSearcher will invalidate the internal caches used by ExternalFileField. By default, these caches are reloaded lazily by the first search that uses them. For large external files, this can slow down searches unacceptably.

To reload the caches when the searcher is first opened, set up event listeners in your solrconfig.xml:

   <listener event="newSearcher" class="org.apache.solr.schema.ExternalFileFieldReloader"/>
   <listener event="firstSearcher" class="org.apache.solr.schema.ExternalFileFieldReloader"/>
 

The caches will be reloaded for all ExternalFileFields in your schema after each commit.

Method Detail

init

public void init(NamedList<?> args)

Description copied from interface: NamedListInitializedPlugin

init will be called just once, immediately after creation.

Source of the initialization arguments will typically be solrconfig.xml, but will ultimately depends on the plugin itself

Specified by:

init in interface NamedListInitializedPlugin

Overrides:

init in class AbstractSolrEventListener

Parameters:

args - non-null list of initialization parameters (may be empty)

newSearcher

public void newSearcher(SolrIndexSearcher newSearcher,
                        SolrIndexSearcher currentSearcher)

Description copied from interface: SolrEventListener

The searchers passed here are only guaranteed to be valid for the duration of this method call, so care should be taken not to spawn threads or asynchronous tasks with references to these searchers.

Implementations should add the EventParams.EVENT parameter and set it to a value of either:

• EventParams.FIRST_SEARCHER - First Searcher event
• EventParams.NEW_SEARCHER - New Searcher event

Sample:

 if (currentSearcher != null) {
 nlst.add(CommonParams.EVENT, CommonParams.NEW_SEARCHER);
 } else {
 nlst.add(CommonParams.EVENT, CommonParams.FIRST_SEARCHER);
 }

 

Specified by:

newSearcher in interface SolrEventListener

Overrides:

newSearcher in class AbstractSolrEventListener

Parameters:

newSearcher - The new SolrIndexSearcher to use

currentSearcher - The existing SolrIndexSearcher. null if this is a firstSearcher event.
