Delete all documents in a Solr index using curl
# http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FAQ#How_can_I_delete_all_documents_from_my_index.3F
# http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages#Updating_a_Data_Record_via_curl

curl "http://index.websolr.com/solr/a0b1c2d3/update?commit=true" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data-binary '<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>'

I'm amused at the traction this little gist is getting on Google! I would be remiss not to point out that six+ years later I'm still helping thousands of companies on a daily basis with their search index management, by providing managed Solr as a service over at Websolr, and hosted Elasticsearch at Bonsai. Check us out if you'd like an expert helping hand at Solr and Elasticsearch hosting, ops and support!

Simulates a low bandwidth, high-latency network connection

slow

This bash script offers quick shortcuts to simulate slower network connections. It is useful when you need to simulate a wireless network on a Linux network server, especially when you are using a virtual machine guest on your local machine or in the cloud.

slow 3G                   # Slow network on default eth0 down to 3G wireless speeds
slow reset                # Reset connection for default eth0 to normal
slow vsat --latency=500ms # Simulate satellite internet  with a high latency
slow dsl -b 1mbps         # Simulate DSL with a slower speed than the default

slow modem-56k -d eth0 # Simulate a 56k modem on the eth1 device. eth0 is unchanged.

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
