RSolr examples in the github readme.

[Nick Martin]

Hi Matt, All,

I was trying a couple of solr.get examples in the readme on github for
rsolr:

# send a request to /select
response = solr.get 'select', :params => {:q => '*:*'}

But this raises:
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > response = solr.get 'select', :params => {:q => '*:*'}
TypeError: can't convert String into Hash
from /home/nick/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/rsolr-0.12.1/lib/
rsolr/client.rb:90:in `merge'
from /home/nick/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/rsolr-0.12.1/lib/
rsolr/client.rb:90:in `map_params'
from /home/nick/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/rsolr-0.12.1/lib/
rsolr/client.rb:34:in `request'
from /home/nick/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/rsolr-0.12.1/lib/
rsolr/client.rb:16:in `method_missing'
from (irb):65
from /home/nick/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/bin/irb:16:in
`<main>'

Doing:
response = solr.select({:q=>'*:*'})

Works fine.

Just wondered if you could clarify why the error was happening. I'm
new to Ruby so perhaps it's something obvious to one of you.

Many thanks

Nick

Yes, kinda confusing :)

The master branch contains the 1.0/beta code. Looks like you're using
0.12.1, which has a tag and you can find the docs here:
https://github.com/mwmitchell/rsolr/tree/v0.12.1

If you'd like to use beta: http://rubygems.org/gems/rsolr/versions/1.0.0.beta5
and then the docs on the main/master github page make more sense.

Thanks for the explanation Matt. Much appreciated.
