The ConfigSets API enables you to create, delete, and otherwise manage ConfigSets.
To use a ConfigSet created with this API as the configuration for a collection, use the Collections API.
This API can only be used with Solr running in SolrCloud mode. If you are not running Solr in SolrCloud mode but would still like to use shared configurations, please see the section Config Sets.
ConfigSets API Entry Points
Create a ConfigSet
/admin/configs?action=CREATE&name=name&baseConfigSet=baseConfigSet
Create a ConfigSet, based on an existing ConfigSet.
Create ConfigSet Parameters
The following parameters are supported when creating a ConfigSet.
- name
-
The ConfigSet to be created. This parameter is required.
- baseConfigSet
-
The ConfigSet to copy as a base. This parameter is required.
- configSetProp.name=value
-
Any ConfigSet property from base to override.
Create ConfigSet Response
The response will include the status of the request. If the status is anything other than "success", an error message will explain why the request failed.
Create ConfigSet Examples
Input
Create a ConfigSet named 'myConfigSet' based on a 'predefinedTemplate' ConfigSet, overriding the immutable property to false.
http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/configs?action=CREATE&name=myConfigSet&baseConfigSet=predefinedTemplate&configSetProp.immutable=false&wt=xmlOutput
<response>
<lst name="responseHeader">
<int name="status">0</int>
<int name="QTime">323</int>
</lst>
</response>Delete a ConfigSet
/admin/configs?action=DELETE&name=name
Delete a ConfigSet
Delete ConfigSet Parameters
- name
-
The ConfigSet to be deleted. This parameter is required.
Delete ConfigSet Response
The output will include the status of the request. If the status is anything other than "success", an error message will explain why the request failed.
Delete ConfigSet Examples
Input
Delete ConfigSet 'myConfigSet'
http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/configs?action=DELETE&name=myConfigSet&wt=xmlOutput
<response>
<lst name="responseHeader">
<int name="status">0</int>
<int name="QTime">170</int>
</lst>
</response>List ConfigSets
/admin/configs?action=LIST
Fetch the names of the ConfigSets in the cluster.
List ConfigSet Examples
Input
http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/configs?action=LISTOutput
{
"responseHeader":{
"status":0,
"QTime":203},
"configSets":["myConfigSet1",
"myConfig2"]}Upload a ConfigSet
/admin/configs?action=UPLOAD&name=name
Upload a ConfigSet, sent in as a zipped file. Please note that a ConfigSet is uploaded in a "trusted" mode if authentication is enabled and this upload operation is performed as an authenticated request. Without authentication, a ConfigSet is uploaded in an "untrusted" mode. Upon creation of a collection using an "untrusted" ConfigSet, the following functionality would not work:
-
DataImportHandler’s ScriptTransformer does not initialize, if specified in the ConfigSet.
-
XSLT transformer (tr parameter) cannot be used at request processing time.
-
StatelessScriptUpdateProcessor does not initialize, if specified in the ConfigSet.
Upload ConfigSet Parameters
- name
-
The ConfigSet to be created when the upload is complete. This parameter is required.
The body of the request should contain a zipped config set.
Upload ConfigSet Response
The output will include the status of the request. If the status is anything other than "success", an error message will explain why the request failed.
Upload ConfigSet Examples
Create a config set named 'myConfigSet' from the zipped file myconfigset.zip. The zip file must be created from within the conf directory (i.e., solrconfig.xml must be the top level entry in the zip file). Here is an example on how to create the zip file and upload it:
$ (cd solr/server/solr/configsets/sample_techproducts_configs/conf && zip -r - *) > myconfigset.zip
$ curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:application/octet-stream" --data-binary @myconfigset.zip "http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/configs?action=UPLOAD&name=myConfigSet"The same can be achieved using a Unix pipe, without creating an intermediate zip file, as follows:
$ (cd server/solr/configsets/sample_techproducts_configs/conf && zip -r - *) | curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:application/octet-stream" --data-binary @- "http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/configs?action=UPLOAD&name=myConfigSet"
We welcome feedback on Solr documentation. However, we cannot provide application support via comments. If you need help, please send a message to the Solr User mailing list.
