Flush SOLR index
Sometimes, specially in QA/UAT environments, it is required to delete all documents indexed in your Solr index. The folling scripts will get that done:
#!/bin/bash
SOLR_URL="http://localhost"
SOLR_PORT="8983"
SOLR_PATH="/solr"
DELETE="stream.body=<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>"
COMMIT="stream.body=<commit/>"
curl "${SOLR_URL}:${SOLR_PORT}${SOLR_PATH}/update?${DELETE}"
curl "${SOLR_URL}:${SOLR_PORT}${SOLR_PATH}/update?${COMMIT}"The first curl call requests the index to be deleted and the second one commits the change in case it’s not enabled on the server.
