org.apache.solr.common.SolrException Stream Body is disabled - solr

Question

I have setup apache solr 7.1 and using postman tool to query it. But when I am trying to delete indexed data using postman I get following error.
Request:
GET http://localhost:8983/solr/solr-sample3/update?stream.body={
"delete": {
"query": "*:*"
},
"commit": { }
}
Body:
{
"error": {
"metadata": [
"error-class",
"org.apache.solr.common.SolrException",
"root-error-class",
"org.apache.solr.common.SolrException"
],
"msg": "Stream Body is disabled. See http://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/requestdispatcher-in-solrconfig.html for help",
"code": 400
}
}
It was working in previous solr version solr 6.6. I went through the lucene documentation but I am not able to figure it out.

Answer 1

You don't need to enable the stream body. Just use a curl POST request specifying the data type as text/xml
curl http://localhost:8983/solr/solr-sample3/update?commit=true -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data-binary '<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>'
Or if you're using the Post Tool included in solr:
bin/post -c core_name -type text/xml -out yes -d $'<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>'

I went though the documentation, it says i need to enable stream body as it has been disabled in solr 7.1 .
to enable use :
curl http://localhost:8983/solr/solr-sample3/config -H 'Content-type:application/json' -d'{
"set-property" : {"requestDispatcher.requestParsers.enableRemoteStreaming":true},
"set-property" : {"requestDispatcher.requestParsers.enableStreamBody":true}
}'

Here is what worked for me, using cURL and avoiding to enable stream body:
curl http://localhost:8983/solr/solr-sample3/update?commit=true -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data-binary "<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>"
