A Clear Video from Lucid Imagination
December 13, 2010
Lucid Imagination has posted a video on their blog: “Solr Tuning Tips From Sourcesense.” It’s eighteen minutes of pure Solr excitement! Gustavo Fernades, Senior Open Source Consultant at Sourcesense UK, gives a rousing discussion about “six Solr tuning tips that can help significantly reduce query times in large-scale and near real time search environments. He covers adding memory, auto warming, application profiling, FieldValueCache, JVM and garbage collection, and using maxWarmingSearchers.”
When you watch the video, it helps to have a working knowledge of Solr to understand how to integrate into your program. Apache Lucene created Solr as an open source search platform. Its main features are dynamic clustering, database integration, full-text search, and hit highlighting.
