ExtractingRequestHandler - how do you post multi-valued literal fields?

Question

I'm trying to post a literal, multi-valued field along with a PDF extract. Only one of the field values seems to be being added to the index. Does this need to be passed in a different way?

Currently sending equivalent of (via POST values):

http://localhost:8080/solr/update/extract?literal.keyword_txt=keyword1&literal.keyword_txt=keyword2&literal.keyword_txt=keyword3...etc

According to the ExtractingRequestHandler Wiki Page about Input Parameters, it supports multivalued literals.

literal.= - Create a field with the specified value. May be multivalued if the Field is multivalued.

I would think that you should pass the multivalued liertal as comma separated values. So perhaps try the following:

http://localhost:8080/solr/update/extract?
      literal.keyword_txt=keyword,keyword2,keyword3

I thought I'd already tried that, but I just tried again and it seems to have worked. Thanks! – paulusm Dec 15 '11 at 18:08

Solr 4.3.0 gives "Error adding field for input string" – illegal-immigrant Dec 23 '13 at 15:35

Also, i doubt it ever worked, as comma separated strings parsing into e.g integers would be quite challenging (think about thousands separators, different cultures, etc) – illegal-immigrant Dec 23 '13 at 15:58

I tried the same and found a different solution:

... literal.id_section=1&literal.id_section=2 ...

This worked for me.

The field is defined as follows:

<field name="id_section"  type="integer" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true"/>

Versions:

apache-solr-1.4.1
tomcat 6

Solr 4.3.0, works perfectly, and looking at docs i think it's the only valid way to achieve this. +1 – illegal-immigrant Dec 23 '13 at 15:57
