Before I go down the route of upgrading our main Solr instance from 6 to 7, just checking if anyone is using Solr 7 with Dovecot. SOLR 7 works ok with dovecot. We did not upgrade but indexed from scratch with 7.0.0.

From our experience:

Make sure that you set the default queryResponseWriter to XML on solrconfig.xml:

  <queryResponseWriter name="xml"
                       default="true"
                       class="solr.XMLResponseWriter" />

Because the default response type is now JSON instead of XML and I don't think dovecot sends a wt=xml to make it explicit.

Also, consider going to 7.0.1 because 7.0.0 could not read indexes from 6.x versions. As I said we did a reindex so we were unharmed by that bug but just saw it on the 7.0.1 changelog.

could you please provide more informations about the installation from scratch? The documentations I´ve found are all outdated and doesn´t work :(.

Thanks, Michael

Hi Matthias,

Thanks a lot - I will try it soon.

Best wishes, Michael

I set solr 7.0.1 now up on FreeBSD and created a short manual for it:

https://wiki.idefix.fechner.net/freebsd:postfix_dovecot_virtual#solr_integra...

Maybe that helps you. Creating the schema.xml was a little bit tricky as the one dovecot provides is to old and is missing some datatypes the standard solr7 profile requires.
