Apache Solr Search NoSQL Search Shines Solo
February 3, 2015
Apache Solr is an open source enterprise search engine that is used for relational databases and Hadoop. ZDNet’s article, “Why Apache Solr Search Is On The Rise And Why It’s Going Solo” explores why its lesser-known use as a NoSQL store might explode in 2015.
At the beginning of 2014, the most Solr deployments were using it in the old-fashioned way, but 2015 shows that fifty percent of the pipeline is now using it as a first class data store. Companies are upgrading their old file intranets for the enterprise cloud. They want the upgraded system to be searchable and they are relying on Solr to get the job done.
Search is more complex than basic NoSQL and needs something more robust to handle the new data streams. Solr adds the extra performance level, so users have access to their data and nothing is missing.
” ‘So when we talk about Solr, it’s all your data, all the time at scale. It’s not just a guess that we think is likely the right answer. ‘We’re going to go ahead and push this one forward’. We guarantee the quality of those results. In financial services and other areas where guarantees are important, that makes Solr attractive,’ [CEO Will Hayes of LucidWorks, Apache Solr’s commercial sponsor] said.”
It looks like anything is possible for LucidWorks in the coming year.
