Blob storage
Managed Fusion accepts large binary objects (blobs) for upload, and stores them in Solr. Blob uploads are used to install models, lookup lists, JDBC drivers, and more. The default limit for uploads to Managed Fusion is 10MB. If you need more than that, contact Lucidworks.
Blob types
A resourceType query parameter can be used to specify the blob type. For example, specify file:js-index when uploading a Javascript index stage, like this:
curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -H 'Content-Type: text/javascript' -X PUT 'https://EXAMPLE_COMPANY.b.lucidworks.cloud/api/blobs/index-pipeline-js-stage.js?resourceType=file:js-index' --data-binary @index-pipeline-js-stage.jsThe complete list of valid values for resourceType is below:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
|
A JavaScript file for use with a Managed Javascript index stage |
|
A JavaScript file for use with a Managed Javascript query stage |
|
Any uploaded file, such as from the Quickstart or the Index Workbench |
|
A blob of unknown type If no |
