Is solr 4.0 ready for prime time? (or other ways to use geo distance in search)

Hi all, I've been using solr 1.4 and it's working great for what I'm doing. However, I'm now finding a need to filter results by location. Searching around, I see that the distance functions are implemented in solr 4.0, but there's no full release yet. So my question is, is solr 4.0-dev

Lock obtain timed out: NativeFSLock

I recently added a second core to my solr setup, and I'm now running into this "Lock obtain timed out" error when I try to update one core after I've updated another core. In my update process, I add/update 1000 documents at a time and commit in between. Then at the end, I commit and optimize

Re: Lock obtain timed out: NativeFSLock

I'm going to go ahead and replay to myself since I solved my problem. It seems I was doing one more update to the data at the end and wasn't doing a commit, so it then couldn't write to the other core. Adding the last commit seems to have fixed everything. On 2/1/2011 11:08 A

NullPointerException on queries to new 3rd core

I just moved to a multi core solr instance a few weeks ago, and it's been working great. I'm trying to add a 3rd core and I can't query against it though. I'm running 1.4.1 (and tried 1.4.0) with the spatial search plugin. This is the section in solr.xml I've removed the index dir and c

Undefined field price on Dismax query

Hi guys, Based on some suggestions, I'm trying to use the dismax query type. I'm getting a weird error though that I think it related to the default test data set. From the query tool (/solr/admin/form.jsp), I put in this: Statement: artist:test title:test +type:video query type: dismax
