I wrote a few routines to make using solr from pick easier. These are available in my TCL Utilities repo.
There is a few utilities to directly manage solr from TCL. These are:
SOLR.CREATE - This creates a solr collection
SOLR.DELETE - This deletes a solr collection
SOLR.LIST - This lists the available solr collections
There are also some subroutines that you can use inside a BASIC program:
SUBROUTINE SOLR.ADD(STATUS.MATRIX,COLLECTION.NAME,JSON.DATA)
SUBROUTINE SOLR.REMOVE(STATUS.MATRIX,COLLECTION.NAME,ID.LIST)
You can query a solr collection with the following:
SUBROUTINE SOLR.QUERY(RAW.JSON,COLLECTION.NAME,QUERY,ORIGINAL.FIELD.LIST,ORIGINAL.HIGHLIGHT.LIST)
Solr works with JSON and so I use my JSON routines to actually build and process data from multivalue to put into solr collections.
