What is a good sample solrconfig.xml for django-haystack?

Question

I am building out a solr instance for django, but the example provided from solr is super verbose, with many things that are not relevant to haystack. A sample with spelling suggestions, morelikethis, and faceting, without the extra stuff that haystack doesn't use would go a long way to helping me understand what is needed and what isn't.

Answer 1

You shouldn't need to write an xml file - one of the benefits of Haystack is that it does that for you. Once your searchindex classes are defined, just run ./manage.py build_solr_schema and copy the resulting xml to your solrconfig file.
