Random Content Connector

The Connectors SDK comes with a sample connector to help you.

Random Content Connector

The Random Content connector generates a configurable number of documents with random titles and body fields.

Quick start

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/lucidworks/connectors-sdk-resources.git
cd connectors-sdk-resources/java-sdk/connectors/
./gradlew assemblePlugins

This produces one zip file, named simple-connector.zip, located in the build/plugins directory. This artifact is now ready to be uploaded directly to Managed Fusion as a connector plugin.
