README
Export documents from a SOLR index as JSON, fast and simply from the command line.
Requesting large number of documents from SOLR can lead to Deep Paging problems:
When you wish to fetch a very large number of sorted results from Solr to feed into an external system, using very large values for the start or rows parameters can be very inefficient.
See also: Fetching A Large Number of Sorted Results: Cursors
As an alternative to increasing the "start" parameter to request subsequent pages of sorted results, Solr supports using a "Cursor" to scan through results. Cursors in Solr are a logical concept, that doesn't involve caching any state information on the server. Instead the sort values of the last document returned to the client are used to compute a "mark" representing a logical point in the ordered space of sort values.
Requirements
SOLR 4.7 or higher, since the cursor mechanism was introduced with SOLR 4.7 (2014-02-25) — see also efficient deep paging with cursors.
This project has been developed for Project finc at Leipzig University Library.

field or fields to export, separate multiple values by comma
-q string
SOLR query (default "*:*")
-rows int
number of rows returned per request (default 1000)
-server string
SOLR server, host post and collection (default "http://localhost:8983/solr/example")
-sort string
sort order (only unique fields allowed) (default "id asc")
-verbose
show progress
-version
show version and exitExport id and title field for all documents:
$ solrdump -server https://localhost:8983/solr/biblio -q '*:*' -fl id,title
{"id":"0000001864","title":"Veröffentlichungen des Museums für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig"}
{"id":"0000002001","title":"Festschrift zur Feier des 500jährigen Bestehens der ... /"}
