how to prevent a document getting indexed during full import?

I have a mongodb collection which i would like to index on solr using data import handler . But i don't want the documents with foodType(a field in document) as variant to get indexed during full import how to do it?

Solution

  • If you have the query to get the documents from the MongoDB. Then modify that query by adding a filtering condition. This filter will not retreive the data from mongoDB where the documents has foodType.

    e.g 

    db.collection.find({ "fieldToCheck" : { $exists : true, $ne : null } })

    You can add some conditions as above in your query and restrict the data from being indexed in solr.

    In the data-config the query is missing and that is the reason its getting all the documents from mongoDB. If you add the query with correct criteria it will retrive selected documents.
