I am having some trouble in showing results in near real time through the SOLR suggester.Although , if I try to use the search handler it is working properly for near real time search. If I add a document , I am able to retrieve that document in near rel time through the search handler but the same record is available in the suggester only after I reload the core.Why is this happening? Here is my entry for suggester in solr-config.xml
<searchComponent name="suggest" class="solr.SuggestComponent">
<lst name="suggester">
<str name="name">mySuggester</str>
<str name="lookupImpl">FuzzyLookupFactory</str> <!-- org.apache.solr.spelling.suggest.fst -->
<str name="dictionaryImpl">DocumentDictionaryFactory</str> <!-- org.apache.solr.spelling.suggest.HighFrequencyDictionaryFactory -->
<str name="field">email</str>
<str name="weightField">popularity</str>
<str name="suggestAnalyzerFieldType">string</str>
</lst>
</searchComponent>
<requestHandler name="/suggest" class="solr.SearchHandler" startup="lazy">
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="suggest">true</str>
<str name="suggest.count">10</str>
<str name="suggest.dictionary">mySuggester</str>
</lst>
<arr name="components">
<str>suggest</str>
</arr>
</requestHandler>
Here is my entry of autocommit and soft commit(using the default value)
<autoCommit>
<maxTime>${solr.autoCommit.maxTime:15000}</maxTime>
<openSearcher>false</openSearcher>
</autoCommit>
<autoSoftCommit>
<maxTime>${solr.autoSoftCommit.maxTime:-1}</maxTime>
</autoSoftCommit>
The reason that I was not able to fetch the results for suggester on near real time was that I missed this property
<str name="buildOnCommit">true</str>
Hope this helps someone else.
