Solr - Request-URI Too Long

[Former Member]

Hi we're getting Solr server error

non ok status: 414, message:Request-URI Too Long

with phrases long 10-20 chars in the auto-suggest search box. Is this supposed to happen? Hybris 6.1.0.2

it seems like it's blocked at an http level even before reaching solr webapp https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/SEARCH-164

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

You can override the facet search strategy and change the method from GET to POST:
final QueryResponse queryResponse = solrClient.query(solrQuery, METHOD.POST);

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

thanks , we followed your lead and extended DefaultFacetSearchStrategy and LegacyFacetSearchStrategy

[Former Member]

you can to do that in Solr Config (Hybris 6.4):

INSERT_UPDATE SolrServerConfig ; name[unique=true] ; mode(code) ; solrQueryMethod(code) ; $serverConfigName ; standalone ; POST

[former_member1300987]

It looks like this attribute is only available as of version 6.5

[david_levy1]

The correct impex would be:

INSERT_UPDATE SolrServerConfig ; name[unique=true] ; mode(code) ; username   ; password  ; indexingUsername   ; indexingPassword ; solrQueryMethod

;$serverConfigName  ; asd; asd; asd; asd; asd; POST

[former_member647235]

If you're using backoffice you can set it to POST it by changing Solr Query Method property as depicted in the attached screenshot.

This could work with newer Hybris versions but he's using 6.1.

[Former Member]

What Hybris version are you using?

[Former Member]

Option B) is to increase the request header size for jetty then you can still stick to the GET calls without any code changes.

/ext-commerce/solrserver/resources/solr/server/etc/jetty.xml

 <Set name="requestHeaderSize"><Property name="solr.jetty.request.header.size" default="8192" /></Set>

Setting this to "65536" should also solve your problems.

hi I like your solution much more, we found the same suggestion in the Alfresco link in my question but wasn't able to find out where to insert it in the hybris codebase.

Thanks a lot! nicola

Hi , easiest way would be to patch this file "ant customize". To do this create the folder stucture "/ext-commerce/solrserver/resources/solr/server/etc/" in your config/customize folder and place the updated jetty.xml inside the created folder. When you then run ant customize the file will be updated.

On your production environments you'll have to manually update this jetty.xml as the solr servers will most likely be on different machines.

Keep in mind that after a hybris upgrade you need to check the patched files and perform "ant customize again"
