Solr

[Joan Moreau]

Dear Daniel. 

Thank you for your kind reply. 

Regarding NFS, no, there is nothing like this in my setup. 

Deleteing SOLR and recreating it, I did it so  many times already. 

I started with *your* setup in the first place, as FTS_squat (which
actually works very well and very straightforward, I have no clue why
going for SOlr which is just a pain and not maintaining squat), and it
leads to totally funny results (for instance, I type "emirates" in my
"Air Companies" subfolder and get a lot of results .. but of competing
companies :D ) 

I added the fts_enforce following AKi advice. 

I removed fts_decoder for the time being. 

I don't know where to go now. Dovcot still returning errors and SOlr
still companinig with "Out of range" and other Java errors. 

Bottom line, I am back to squat, but as it is not maintained so crashed
also times to times. 

I think we should discuss on 

(1) Why the damn choice of Solr has been main. As you empahised,
maintainend so many independent software is a pain 

(2) If there is a real reason why going for SOlr, how to have a working
(i.e. getting the right results to the end user) setup ? 

(3) If there iare no tangible reason, what about maintaining fts_squat ,
which did the job nicely for years and no complains about.

That said, I suggest you consider an alternative viewpoint.  Frequently being misunderstood myself I apologize in advance if I'm reading you wrong - but it appears your view towards the situation is there is a bug in Dovecot related to this problem.  That may well be - but I generally approach these matters from the assumption that *I* made the error in configuration and go from there.  I'm not an official rep for any product nor claim to be any form of expert in these matters - but I do have a working setup and I'd like to help you if I can.  If you're willing to - take a deep breath and let's try starting over.

Also comment out the Dovecot directives for "fts_decoder" and "fts_enforced" so you're closer to my setup.  Try running again and then post back - I'll do what I can.  Based on the fact that Dovecot+Solr 7.5+my schema is working for me leads me to believe we can get it working for you as well.

The method I detailed previously for setting up a config helps automate creating new Solr instances - but as I stated you can either setup a Solr template and then create the instance from that or create an instance using the default template and then adjust it.
