Updates to Apache Lucene Solr Released

May 14, 2013

Apache Lucene and its compliment, Solr, are highly used open source software components, particularly for search. Both have received an upgrade to version 4.3 as of the second week in May. The update enables even more powerful full-text search. Read the full details in the ZDNet story, “Apache Lucene and Solr 4.3 Released.”

The article says:

“Lucene/Solr 4.3.0 was released and made available for immediate download. The 4.3.0 package includes improvements in numerous areas, including query performance, spatial processing, and the read-side schema API. 4.3.0 also includes numerous enhancements to Lucene’s faceted search capabilities, whereby dimensions can be used in search, much as they are used for drill-down analysis in data warehouses and OLAP cubes.”

These updates provide great news not only for developers who utilize Lucene/Solr as components, but also for users of value-added open source software built on the Lucene/Solr platform. One such value-added solution is LucidWorks, offering both Search and Big Data solutions. LucidWorks is built on the solid foundation of this widely supported open source software, but also boasts an industry-trusted support and services team.
