solr dataimport from mysql dies when mysq query limit is removed

Question

I have a mysql database with over 400,000,000 records in one table.

The Solr import runs fine when I set a limit. My last test was 10,000,000 and it ran successfully in about 5 minutes. Having the full dataset in Solr is required and when I remove the limit, solr is reporting that it has lost the connection to mysql.

I believe that I am running into what seems to be a misconfiguration or a limitation with my current configuration.

Here is the catalina.out log from tomcat

Answer 1

You can create multiple root entities along with the LIMIT clause like -

<entity name="one" pk="id" query="SELECT id as solr_id, id,firstname, lastname, state from names limit 0, 10000000">
  <field column="solr_id" name="solr_id" />
  <field column="id" name="id" />
  <field column="firstname" name="firstname" />
  <field column="lastname" name="lastname" />
  <field column="state" name="state" />
</entity>
<entity name="two" pk="id" query="SELECT id as solr_id, id,firstname, lastname, state from names limit 10000000, 20000000">
  <field column="solr_id" name="solr_id" />
  <field column="id" name="id" />
  <field column="firstname" name="firstname" />
  <field column="lastname" name="lastname" />
  <field column="state" name="state" />
</entity>

until your required rows

OR

You can pass the limit and offset parameters as request paramters like -

<entity name="one" pk="id" query="SELECT id as solr_id, id,firstname, lastname, state from names limit ${dataimporter.request.startAt}, ${dataimporter.request.count}">
  <field column="solr_id" name="solr_id" />
  <field column="id" name="id" />
  <field column="firstname" name="firstname" />
  <field column="lastname" name="lastname" />
  <field column="state" name="state" />
</entity>

The query link for the second option would look like - http://<hostname>:<port>/solr/dataimport?command=full-import&startAt=0&count=10000000

Answer 2

Add batchSize="-1" to data-config.xml
