A Warm Solr Goodie
December 28, 2010
Expanding on the open-source Apache Lucene search software, the Apache Solr project adds another layer of customizable capabilities (see http://lucene.apache.org/solr). As Jayant Kumar puts it in his December 12 blog article, How to Go about Apache-Solr:
“Definitely solr provides an easy to use – ready made solution for search on lucene – which is also scalable.”
Kumar also points out that, when it comes to importing data, Sphinx users have an advantage: they don’t have to write code in order to port data. He also assures us that Solr’s use of ah http interface is no reason to avoid it.
This article is a useful write-up worth adding to your Solr reference library. It provides detailed instructions for installation, configuration, indexing, and importing data using this valuable resource.
