Deploy Config To Solr Cloud Searchstax Using Zookeper



Moving to the cloud has many benefits, but for us it's a new learning curve. In this blog post I will help you deploy your Solr config set to Solr Cloud. In a nutshell,




  1. Open searchstax Repository 
  2. Download the following Files:
    • accountdeploymentzookeeperconfigcreate.ps1: To create your config
    • accountdeploymentzookeeperconfigdownload.ps1 : To download the config
    • accountdeploymentzookeeperconfigdelete.ps1 : Download this file if you made any mistake and you want to delete the uploaded config set
  3. Go to Your Solr Cloud URL
  4. Go to collections >> select any of your collections to identify your default config name


  5. Download your config set using “accountdeploymentzookeeperconfigdownload.ps1”
  6. open the File in any Editor and update the below parameters:
    • Account: it's the account name, if you are managing the searchstax account then you can get it easily
    • Uid: This is the Deployment you can get it from the solr url, it's the first part of the url before the first Dash
    • Name: This is the Config Name, you already got it from Step 4
    • ApiKey: You will get this info when register your searchstax account
  7. Make your changes and put it inside the .Zip file again
  8. Create your config set using “accountdeploymentzookeeperconfigcreate.ps1”
    • Set the new config set name and the location
  9. Last step here is to remove your old collection i.e. sitecore_web_index and re-add it and select your new config set


Note: for any mistake use “accountdeploymentzookeeperconfigdelete.ps1” to delete your config set

Sitecore Multi list Code Data Source

Image
Recently, in my project, I had a requirement where, I had to show Items in a list dynamically based on its parent, and we are currently using Multi list with search, and I found it's better to use a custom data source as the query and fast query doesn't work for my case, so, I used the "code" Data source as it's the best solution for my case Below is an example of how I implemented this approach: Case: My case was to map the department with it's company, so I put the path of the company on the parent of the department Code: firstly, you have to add reference for  Sitecore.Bucket.dll as we will implement IDatasource interface public class DepartmentCustomDataSource : IDataSource { public Item[] ListQuery(Item item) { // department company Item parent = item.Parent...

C# Numeric types Overflow

Image
will this code be compiled? int x= int.MaxValue; x=x+1; The answer is, yes it will be compiled  I will tell you how, at runtime arithmetic operations on Integral types can overflow, and this happens silently no exceptions will be thrown, and the results exhibits wraparound behavior that means  int x= int.MaxValue; x= x+1; (x == int.MinValue) // True and if we do also the below expressions it will not give you the right result int a = 80000;  int b = 80000;  int c = a * b;  // 2105032704 while the right result is  6,400,000,000 So to avoid this issue we will use Checked Operator int a = 80000;  int b = 80000;  int c = checked(a * b);  // Run-time exception (line 9): Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow Checked: The checked keyword is used to explicitly enable overflow checking for integral-type arithmetic ...
