This request handler is the “realtime get” handler, and it is missing from some of the documentation, but available in Solrj.
To use it, add this to your solrconfig.xml:
<requestHandler name="/get" class="solr.RealTimeGetHandler"> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="omitHeader">true</str> </lst> </requestHandler>
And make sure this block is uncommented in the update handler:
<updateLog class="solr.FSUpdateLog"> <str name="dir">${solr.data.dir:}</str> </updateLog>
Once configured, you should be able to access the /get endpoint (you’ll see an empty JSON object returned)
