Indexing Text files using apache solr and tika - solr

Question

I have some doc files in d:/tmp/docs location on my local machine and I want to index them using Apache Solr and Tika. Following is my data-config.xml file.
<dataSource type="BinFileDataSource" />
<document>
<entity name="file_Import" dataSource="null" rootEntity="false"
processor="FileListEntityProcessor"
baseDir="D:/temp/docs" fileName=".*\.(doc)|(pdf)|(docx)"
onError="skip"
recursive="true">
<field column="fileAbsolutePath" name="id" />
<field column="fileSize" name="size" />
<field column="fileLastModified" name="lastModified" />
<entity
name="documentImport"
processor="TikaEntityProcessor"
url="${files.fileAbsolutePath}"
format="text">
<field column="file" name="fileName"/>
<field column="Author" name="author" meta="true"/>
<field column="title" name="title" meta="true"/>
<field column="text" name="text"/>
</entity>
</entity>
</document>
When I try to import those files into solr I get following exception:
Caused by: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: null
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.URLDataSource.getData(URLDataSource.java:90)
... 11 more
I figured out that sorl is not able to locate d:/temp/docs folder.
Don't know how to resolve. Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

Resolved ...
I had more than one dataSource tags in my data-config.xml out of which one was <dataSource type="URLDataSource" />
causing a problem.. So I removed all the dataSources and kept only <dataSource type="BinFileDataSource" />
and it worked ... :)

Answer 2

check the url for datasource baseDir
try changing from
baseDir="D:/temp/docs"
to
baseDir="D:/temp/docs/"
and change filename like *.* to index all docs in that folder
