Lightweight python wrapper for Apache Solr.
Project description
pysolr is a lightweight Python wrapper for Apache Solr. It provides an interface that queries the server and returns results based on the query.
Status
Features
Basic operations such as selecting, updating & deleting.
Index optimization.
“More Like This” support (if set up in Solr).
Spelling correction (if set up in Solr).
Timeout support.
SolrCloud awareness
Requirements
Python 2.7 - 3.5
Requests 2.0+
Optional - simplejson
Optional - kazoo for SolrCloud mode
Installation
sudo python setup.py install or drop the pysolr.py file anywhere on your PYTHONPATH.
Usage
Basic usage looks like:
# If on Python 2.X
from __future__ import print_function
import pysolr
# Setup a Solr instance. The timeout is optional.
solr = pysolr.Solr('http://localhost:8983/solr/', timeout=10)
# How you'd index data.
solr.add([
{
"id": "doc_1",
"title": "A test document",
},
{
"id": "doc_2",
"title": "The Banana: Tasty or Dangerous?",
},
])
# Later, searching is easy. In the simple case, just a plain Lucene-style
# query is fine.
results = solr.search('bananas')
# The ``Results`` object stores total results found, by default the top
# ten most relevant results and any additional data like
# facets/highlighting/spelling/etc.
print("Saw {0} result(s).".format(len(results)))
# Just loop over it to access the results.
for result in results:
print("The title is '{0}'.".format(result['title']))
# For a more advanced query, say involving highlighting, you can pass
# additional options to Solr.
results = solr.search('bananas', **{
'hl': 'true',
'hl.fragsize': 10,
})
# You can also perform More Like This searches, if your Solr is configured
# correctly.
similar = solr.more_like_this(q='id:doc_2', mltfl='text')
# Finally, you can delete either individual documents...
solr.delete(id='doc_1')
# ...or all documents.
solr.delete(q='*:*')# For SolrCloud mode, initialize your Solr like this:
zookeeper = pysolr.Zookeeper("zkhost1:2181,zkhost2:2181,zkhost3:2181")
solr = pysolr.SolrCloud(zookeeper, "collection1")Multicore Index
Simply point the URL to the index core:
# Setup a Solr instance. The timeout is optional.
solr = pysolr.Solr('http://localhost:8983/solr/core_0/', timeout=10)Custom Request Handlers
# Setup a Solr instance. The trailing slash is optional.
solr = pysolr.Solr('http://localhost:8983/solr/core_0/', search_handler='/autocomplete', use_qt_param=False)If use_qt_param is True it is essential that the name of the handler is exactly what is configured in solrconfig.xml, including the leading slash if any (though with the qt parameter a leading slash is not a requirement by SOLR). If use_qt_param is False (default), the leading and trailing slashes can be omitted.
If search_handler is not specified, pysolr will default to /select.
The handlers for MoreLikeThis, Update, Terms etc. all default to the values set in the solrconfig.xml SOLR ships with: mlt, update, terms etc. The specific methods of pysolr’s Solr class (like more_like_this, suggest_terms etc.) allow for a kwarg handler to override that value. This includes the search method. Setting a handler in search explicitly overrides the search_handler setting (if any).

Running Tests
The run-tests.py script will automatically perform the steps below and is recommended for testing by default unless you need more control.
Running a test Solr instance
Downloading, configuring and running Solr 4 looks like this:
./start-solr-test-server.sh
Running the tests
The test suite requires the unittest2 library:
Python 2:
python -m unittest2 tests
Python 3:
python3 -m unittest tests
