Solr Indexing and Analysis Tricks
7 likes4,352 views
This document discusses techniques to enhance search experiences in Solr through document augmentation during indexing. It introduces concepts such as entity extraction, using various field types, copy fields, and update processors to manipulate document fields. The session is led by Erik Hatcher, who also addresses challenges related to analyzers and query parsing.

Analyzers and Query Parsers
– Analysis != query parsing
• Query parsers generally analyze “chunks” of the query expression and
combine the results in various ways
– Synergy, working in conjunction
Query parsing
– q=Lucene Revolution in Dubhlinn
– q="Lucene Revolution"
– q=lucene [AND/OR] revolution
– On which field(s)? Which query parser?
Analysis

![Extracting with copyField
•
copyField content => acronyms
– Note that destination of a copy field generally should not be stored
(stored="false)
•
"caps" field type
– PatternCaptureGroupFilterFactory with pattern="((?:[A-Z].?){3,})"
•
"The Dublin airport, DUB, is at…"
=> DUB
•
Results could be suitable for faceting, searching, and boosting but the results are
not "stored" values (only indexed terms)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/solrindexingandanalysistricks-131106080537-phpapp02/85/Solr-Indexing-and-Analysis-Tricks-8-320.jpg)

- 3. Abstract This session will introduce and demonstrate several techniques for enhancing the search experience by augmenting documents during indexing. First we'll survey the analysis components available in Solr, and then we'll delve into using Solr's update processing pipeline to modify documents on the way in. The session will build on Erik's "Poor Man's Entity Extraction" blog at http:// www.searchhub.org/2013/06/27/poor-mans-entityextraction-with-solr/
- 4. Poor Man’s Entity Extraction • acronyms: a searchable/filterable/facetable (but not stored) field containing all three+ letter CAPS acronyms • key_phrases: a searchable/filterable/facetable (but also not stored) field containing any key phrases matching a provided list • links: a stored field containing http(s) links • extracted_locations: lat/long points that are mentioned in the document content, indexed as geographically savvy points, stored on the document for easy use in maps or elsewhere

- 8. Extracting with copyField • copyField content => acronyms – Note that destination of a copy field generally should not be stored (stored="false) • "caps" field type – PatternCaptureGroupFilterFactory with pattern="((?:[A-Z].?){3,})" • "The Dublin airport, DUB, is at…" => DUB • Results could be suitable for faceting, searching, and boosting but the results are not "stored" values (only indexed terms)
- 9. Extracting with ScriptUpdateProcessor • • An update processor can manipulate (add, modify, delete) document fields – Field values can be stored update.chain=script – With post.jar: • java –Dauto -Dparams=update.chain=script -jar post.jar – Or make the update chain the default • <updateRequestProcessorChain default="true"… // basic lat/long pattern matching eg "38.1384683,-78.4527887" var location_regexp = /(-?d{1,2}.d{2,7},-?d{1,3}.d{2,7})/g; var extracted_locations = getMatches(location_regexp, content); doc.setField("extracted_locations", extracted_locations);
- 10. Analysis in ScriptUpdateProcessor var analyzer = req.getCore().getLatestSchema() .getFieldTypeByName("<field type>") .getAnalyzer(); doc.setField("token_ss", getAnalyzerResult(analyzer, null, content));
- 11. getAnalyzerResult function getAnalyzerResult(analyzer, fieldName, fieldValue) { var result = []; var token_stream = analyzer.tokenStream(fieldName, new java.io.StringReader(fieldValue)); var term_att = token_stream.getAttribute( Packages.org.apache.lucene.analysis.tokenattributes.CharTermAttribute); token_stream.reset(); while (token_stream.incrementToken()) { result.push(term_att.toString()); } token_stream.end(); token_stream.close(); return result; }
