I would like to customize the solr schema.xml and solrconfig.xml used
for our instance of xwiki (enterprise 6.1) to provide some additional
fields and to customize (and enforce) search behaviors.
My first attempt at modifying xwiki's data/solr/xwiki/conf/*.xml seemed
successful at first, but after xwiki restarts the solr index appeared
flawed in some way (all search gave zero results) even after full index
rebuilds.
I see clues in xwiki.properties that custom solr config dirs and even
external solr instances are supported, but have not found any specific
documentation. I'm not certain the above implies that solr configuration
customization is supported. Is it possible and, if so, is there any
general guidance on utilizing custom schemas or external solrs?
Thanks,
Mike
