Description
There is a difference to how DIH treats the case of columns when using the DataImportHandler and using explicit mapping vs dynamic mapping. The exact test cases I used are described below:
-----------------------------
From http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#A_shorter_data-config : "It is possible to totally avoid the field entries in entities if the names of the fields are same (case does not matter) as those in Solr schema"
I confirmed that matching the schema.xml field case to the database table is needed for dynamic fields, and the wiki statement above is incorrect, or at the very least confusing, possibly a bug.
My database is Oracle 10g and the column names have been created in all uppercase in the database.
In Oracle:
Table name: wide_table
Column names: COLUMN_1 ... COLUMN_100 (yes, uppercase)
Please see following scenarios and results I found:
data-config.xml
<entity name="item" query="select column_1,column_100 from wide_table">
<field column="column_100" name="id"/>
</entity>
schema.xml
<dynamicField name="column_*" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" />
Result:
Nothing Imported
=========
data-config.xml
<entity name="item" query="select COLUMN_1,COLUMN_100 from wide_table">
<field column="column_100" name="id"/>
</entity>
schema.xml
<dynamicField name="column_*" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" />
Result:
Note query column names changed to uppercase.
Nothing Imported
=========
data-config.xml
<entity name="item" query="select column_1,column_100 from wide_table">
<field column="COLUMN_100" name="id"/>
</entity>
schema.xml
<dynamicField name="column_*" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" />
Result:
Note ONLY the field entry was changed to caps
All records imported, with only COLUMN_100 id field.
============
data-config.xml
<entity name="item" query="select column_1,column_100 from wide_table">
<field column="COLUMN_100" name="id"/>
</entity>
schema.xml
<dynamicField name="COLUMN_*" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="true" />
Result:
Note BOTH the field entry was changed to caps in data-config.xml, and the dynamicField wildcard in schema.xml
All records imported, with all fields specified. This is the behavior desired.
