marians#Solr Test document generator
This PHP script helps to generate an arbitrary random text documents which can be used to test a Solr instance.
I created it for my own purposes. Changes will most likely be necessary.
##Ho it works
Pretty simplistic. Sentences are generated by randomly picking words from a dictionary (which is not included.) Every now and then, a short word like "as", "for", "in" etc. is inserted to make it look more natural.
##Output
One XML file per document, which can be submitted to a Solr update request handler.
See https://raw.github.com/marians/php-solr-testdoc-generator/master/testdocs/0.xml for an example.
##Requirements
Needs PHP. Best is to run the scipt on the command line.
##Where to get a Dictionary
Here, for example:

##Performance
Generation of documents is pretty slow. On my machine, creating 100 documents takes 4 minutes to create.
