You can view and download all current and previous V2 connector releases at Download Connectors.
When you create a new datasource that requires an uninstalled connector, Fusion releases 5.2 and later automatically download and install the connector. You can also install the connector using the Connector API.
Do not expand the archive; Fusion consumes it as-is.
Upload the connector zip file to Fusion’s plugins.
Specify a pluginId as in this example:
curl -H 'content-type:application/zip' -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -X PUT 'https://FUSION_HOST:FUSION_PORT/api/connectors/plugins?id=lucidworks.{pluginId}' --data-binary @{plugin_path}.zip
Fusion automatically publishes the event to the cluster, and the listeners perform the connector installation process on each node.
If the pluginId is identical to an existing one, the old connector will be uninstalled and the new connector will be installed in its place. To get the list of existing plugin IDs, run: curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD https://FUSION_HOST:FUSION_PORT/api/connectors/plugins
Look in https://FUSION_HOST:FUSION_PORT/apps/connectors/plugins/ to verify the new connector is installed.
To reinstall a connector for any reason, first delete the connector then use the preceding steps to install it again. This may take a few minutes to complete depending on how quickly the pods are deleted and recreated.
In your Fusion app, navigate to Indexing > Datasources.
Click Add.
Select your connector.
The connector configuration panel appears. The specific configuration options vary depending on the connector.
If you do not see your connector in the list, you may need to install it.
Configure your connector’s options:
Enter a useful name for your datasource in the Datasource ID field.
You can leave the Pipeline ID and Parser fields as-is to start with the defaults, or select different ones if you have them.
Navigate to the Index Workbench at Indexing > Index Workbench.
Click Load….
Select the datasource ID you specified when you created the datasource.
Now you can see your datasource configuration and a simulation of the results you can expect when you run this datasource job to index your data.
Adjust the configurations of your datasource, parsers, and index pipeline until the simulated results are satisfactory.
Click Save.
Index your data:
In the Index Workbench, click Start Job.
When the job status is Finished, navigate to the Query Workbench at Querying > Query Workbench to view the indexed documents and configure your query pipeline.
