Spot Solr in a New Book

March 31, 2011

At Slashdot, you can find a review of Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search Server by David Smiley and Eric Pugh. If you already have a working knowledge of Solr but want to go deeper, this may be for you. The review’s author does emphasize that that this is not a tomb for beginners.

The review outlines the concepts covered in each set of chapters. It concludes:

On the whole this is a very thorough, detailed book and it is clear that the authors have a lot of experience with Solr and how it is used in practice. . . . . The fact that the writing is concise and to the point means one doesn’t have to wade through pages of flowery text before getting to the good bits. If you’re seriously thinking about using Solr or are already using it and want to know more so you can take full advantage of it, I would definitely recommend this book.

Sounds like it’s worth spotting Solr via a review.
