Intro

solrcloudpy is a python library for interacting with SolrCloud. This library aims to take advantage of the following features of Solr:

• Distributed indexing and searching and transparent failover
• Full JSON api
• Centralized index management
• Near-realtime search

The API is meant to be close to pymongo‘s API, where one can access collections as simple attributes or dictionary keys.

>>> conn = SolrConnection(["localhost:9983","localhost:8984"])
>>> conn.create('test1',num_shards=1,replication_factor=2)

# Access an existing collection
>>> conn.test_collection.search(q='query')
{
    "response": "SolrResponse << {'start': 0, 'numFound': 0, 'docs': []} >>"
}
>>> conn["test_collection"].search(q='query 2')
{
    "response": "SolrResponse << {'start': 0, 'numFound': 0, 'docs': []} >>"
}

Pre-requisites

You will need to run Solr in “cloud” mode to use this library. To use the console, you will need to install the ipython package.
