Apache Solr Reference Guide Covering Apache Solr 6.0

from urllib2 import *
Now open a connection to the server and get a response. The wt query parameter tells Solr to return results in a
format that Python can understand.
connection = urlopen(
'http://localhost:8983/solr/collection_name/select?q=cheese&wt=python')
response = eval(connection.read())
Now interpreting the response is just a matter of pulling out the information that you need.
print response['response']['numFound'], "documents found."
# Print the name of each document.
for document in response['response']['docs']:
print " Name =", document['name']
Python with JSON
JSON is a more robust response format, but you will need to add a Python package in order to use it. At a
command line, install the simplejson package like this:
$ sudo easy_install simplejson
Once that is done, making a query is nearly the same as before. However, notice that the wt query parameter is
now json, and the response is now digested by simplejson.load() .
from urllib2 import *
import simplejson
connection =
urlopen('http://localhost:8983/solr/collection_name/select?q=cheese&wt=json')
response = simplejson.load(connection)
print response['response']['numFound'], "documents found."
# Print the name of each document.
for document in response['response']['docs']:
print " Name =", document['name']
Using SolrJ
SolrJ is an API that makes it easy for Java applications to talk to Solr. SolrJ hides a lot of the details of
connecting to Solr and allows your application to interact with Solr with simple high-level methods.
The center of SolrJ is the org.apache.solr.client.solrj package, which contains just five main classes.
Begin by creating a SolrClient, which represents the Solr instance you want to use. Then send SolrReques
ts or SolrQuerys and get back SolrResponses.
SolrClient is abstract, so to connect to a remote Solr instance, you'll actually create an instance of either Htt
