SolrClient

SolrClient 0.2.1

SolrClient is a simple python library for Solr; built in python3 with support for latest features of Solr 5 and 6. Development is heavily focused on indexing as well as parsing various query responses and returning them in native python data structures. Several helper classes will be built to automate querying and management of Solr clusters.

Enhancements in version 0.2.0:

Basic parsing for json.facet output
Better support for grouped results (SolrResponse)
Other minor enhancements to SolrClient
Fixed SolrClient.index method

Planned enhancements in version 0.3.0:

Solr node query routing (by @ddorian)
Streaming Expressions Support

Requirements

python 3.3+
requests library (http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/)
Solr
kazoo for working with zookeeper (optional)

Features

Flexible and simple query mechanism
Response Object to easily extract data from Solr Response
Cursor Mark support
Indexing (raw JSON, JSON Files, gzipped JSON)
Specify multiple hosts/IPs for SolrCloud for redundancy
Basic Managed Schema field management
IndexManager for storing indexing documents off-line and batch indexing them

Getting Started

Installation:

pip install SolrClient

Basic usage:

>>> from SolrClient import SolrClient
>>> solr = SolrClient('http://localhost:8983/solr')
>>> res = solr.query('SolrClient_unittest',{
            'q':'product_name:Lorem',
            'facet':True,
            'facet.field':'facet_test',
    })
>>> res.get_results_count()
4
>>> res.get_facets()
{'facet_test': {'ipsum': 0, 'sit': 0, 'dolor': 2, 'amet,': 1, 'Lorem': 1}}
>>> res.get_facet_keys_as_list('facet_test')
['ipsum', 'sit', 'dolor', 'amet,', 'Lorem']
>>> res.docs
[{'product_name_exact': 'orci. Morbi ipsum
..... all the docs ....
 'consectetur Mauris dolor Lorem adipiscing'}]

See, easy.... you just need to know the Solr query syntax.

Roadmap

Better test coverage
Solr Streaming

Contributing

I've realized that that there isn't really a well maintained Solr Python library I liked so I put this together. Contributions (code, tests, documentation) are definitely welcome; if you have a question about development please open up an issue on github page. If you have a pull request, please make sure to add tests and that all of them pass before submitting. See tests README for testing resources.
