[Blacklight-development] more little importer tricks

[Jason Ronallo]

Jonathan,
Yes, I was able to index records successfully (well, mostly, but
that's another thread). I used the OSU bib records up at archive.org
as one of the sets I indexed. (Search "collection:ol_data marc"
methinks) But that's a lot of records for a test.

If you look in /blacklight_importer/blacklight.properties you'll see
what MARC fields are mapped to which solr fields. Any MARC21 records
ought to work for a test of the indexer.

I did not use the shell script. I invoked the importer directly with
something like:
java -Xmx1024M -jar dist/MarcImporter.jar importSamples.properties

I didn't have 1024M of RAM so I changed that number. Otherwise as long
as I had importSamples.properties configured correctly it worked fine.

Jason
