I have indexed a couple of documents using solr, now when I perform a search using the admin interface, it returns search results in the XML format.
I am trying to figure out how can I associate a document that I have indexed example: test.pdf with the results that I receive and then serve that document to my user ?
Will solr return to me a unique ID of the document that I index, so that after indexing a document I can store the document along with that UID in my database somewhere and then when the user performs a search solr return the unique ID's of documents that match the search criteria and then I serve them from the database
You will need to add the filename as a stored field. Look at your schema.xml and make sure you declare a field of type string and set the stored attribute to true. By setting stored=true you will ensure that Solr can return the field back in results.

Is it possible to add fields to the schema (managed or not, does not matter) at search query time?
Basically my Solr will receive search queries for fields that I cannot anticipate. If the query contains a field that is not in the schema, i get :
"msg:undefined field"
I use Distance Function to sort results:
/select?q=city:Atlanta+_val_: dist(2,fieldX,fieldY,0,0)&fl=ticket_id,score&sort=score asc"
For example if fieldY is not in the schema, I would like Solr to give it a default value and not fail
I am using apache solr for field based and for full text search as well.
Should I index entire collection of mongodb in Solr?
If i decide to index only selected fields out of a document of mongo collection in apache-solr, then will I be able to get the complete document from indexed search query?
Two of the properties fields can have in Solr are indexed and stored. In a high level simple way, indexed means they are processed and searchable, stored just means their original content is saved as is and can be retrieved. So for example, you can index the entire MongoDB document into a stored Solr field, then index various other parts of the document into indexed fields. So you could search on those indexed fields, and get the entire document back from the stored field in the result.
Note: fields can be both indexed and stored
Solr version 6.1.0
Created a schema with some fields as indexed=true on which I specifically want the solr main-query q to search.
And also added more fields, which I just wanted to select, so marked them as stored=true and indexed=false.
Issue now is that, main query q=India is searching on non-indexed fields like country, which I have specified in the image.
See the result below
It is selecting the non-indexed field only when I specify the full value of non-indexed field.
See result for q=Indi
How can I restrict solr from searching on non-index fields?
According to the screenshot above you're copying the content sent to the field country into the field _text_. When you're not giving Solr a specific field to search (i.e. you're not using one of the dismax handlers with qf or not prefixing your term with the field name field:value), it falls back to the default search field. This is set to _text_ by default. This field is indexed, and since you're copying the content from your country field into the _text_ field, the values from country will give a hit.
If you don't want this to happen, don't copy the content from country into _text_, or give Solr the actual field you want to search.
When debugging Solr schema and indexing in a SolrCloud, it is important to easily know into which shard a document was indexed. Is it possible to define a schema field for the shard id such that the automatically assigned shard id is then available in search results?
You dont need to store shard id in your schema explicitly to get it in results. if in fl parameter you add [shard] with other required fields, it will return you the shard id of that document:
/solr/collection_name/select?q=*:*&fl=[shard],*&wt=json&indent=true
I am using solr and looked over the documentations but couldn't find a way to get a single record from Solr by using a key?
If I know the key value of the record what is the query I need to pass to Solr to obtain this record?
Thanks.
Not sure what you mean by key, but guessing from context, you mean a field defined by your schema, if this is the case, you could issue the following:
// Assumes Id is a schema field
// If via solr admin
q=Id:1
// Properly escaped
q=Id%3A1
