The following section will show how to use the "post" command to index files.

First, let's run Solr using the "schemaless" example:
$ bin/solr start -e schemaless Creating Solr home directory /opt/solr/example/schemaless/solr Starting up Solr on port 8983 using command: "/opt/solr/bin/solr" start -p 8983 -s "/opt/solr/example/schemaless/solr" Waiting up to 180 seconds to see Solr running on port 8983 [|] Started Solr server on port 8983 (pid=11302). Happy searching! Created new core 'gettingstarted' Solr schemaless example launched successfully. Direct your Web browser to http://localhost:8983/solr to visit the Solr Admin UI
Use the "post" command to index files:
$ bin/post -c gettingstarted /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/*.xml /opt/jdk1.8.0_172/bin/java -classpath /opt/solr/dist/solr-core-9.1.1.jar -Dauto=yes -Dc=gettingstarted -Ddata=files org.apache.solr.util.SimplePostTool /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/gb18030-example.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/hd.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/ipod_other.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/ipod_video.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/manufacturers.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/mem.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/money.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/monitor2.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/monitor.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/mp500.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/sd500.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/solr.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/utf8-example.xml /opt/solr/example/exampledocs/vidcard.xml SimplePostTool version 5.0.0 Posting files to [base] url http://localhost:8983/solr/gettingstarted/update...

Note that the posted XML files have content similar to the following:
<add> <doc> <field name="id">USD</field> <field name="name">One Dollar</field> </doc> </add>
"post" command help:
$ bin/post -help Usage: post -c <collection>|<core> [OPTIONS] <files|directories|urls|-d ["...",...]> or post -help collection/core name defaults to DEFAULT_SOLR_COLLECTION if not specified OPTIONS ======= Solr options: -host <host> (default: localhost) -p or -port <port> (default: 8983) -url <base Solr update URL> (overrides collection, host, and port) -u or -user <user:pass> (sets BasicAuth credentials) -commit yes|no (default: yes) Web crawl options: -recursive <depth> (default: 1) -delay <seconds> (default: 10) Directory crawl options: -delay <seconds> (default: 0) stdin/args options: -type <content/type> (default: application/xml) Other options: -filetypes <type>[,<type>,...] (default: xml,json,jsonl,csv,pdf,doc,docx,ppt,pptx,xls,xlsx,odt,odp,ods,ott,otp,ots,rtf,htm,html,txt,log) -params "<key>=<value>[&<key>=<value>...]" (values must be URL-encoded; these pass through to Solr update request) -out yes|no (default: no; yes outputs Solr response to console) -format solr (sends application/json content as Solr commands to /update instead of /update/json/docs) Examples: * JSON file: bin/post -c wizbang events.json * XML files: bin/post -c records article*.xml * CSV file: bin/post -c signals LATEST-signals.csv * Directory of files: bin/post -c myfiles ~/Documents * Web crawl: bin/post -c gettingstarted http://lucene.apache.org/solr -recursive 1 -delay 1 * Standard input (stdin): echo '{commit: {}}' | bin/post -c my_collection -type application/json -out yes -d * Data as string: bin/post -c signals -type text/csv -out yes -d $'id,value\n1,0.47'
