Maybe spend some time playing with Compass rather than speculating ;) If it helps, on the project where I last used compass, we had what I consider to be a small dataset - just a few million documents. Nothing related to indexing/searching took more than a second or 2 - mostly it was 10's or 100's

Sorry, you have completely lost me :/ In simple terms, there are times when you want the primary storage (database) and the Lucene index to be in synch - and updated atomically. It all depends on the kind of application. -N -Original Message- From: Fuad Efendi [mailto:f...@efendi.ca]

Actually, that's true. But IMO it's not that great :) After fighting it for a bit, we gave up on it ... (maybe more of a reflection of our capabilities rather than Solr's - but Id like to think we are some-way competant) -N -Original Message- From: Adamsky, Robert [mailto:radam...@techt

Not sure how many here have used both ... I've used raw Lucene in the past - and after that, Compass. More recently Solr. Here are some of the things I have noticed: 1) Stating the obvious: Solr has a server capability that Compass/Lucene does not. This means indexing/searching is available to

Hi, I have a bit of an interesting OutOfMemoryError that I'm trying to figure out. My client & Solr server are running in the same JVM (for deployment simplicity). FWIW, I'm using Jetty to host Solr. I'm using the supplied code for the http-based client interface. Solr 1.3.0. My app is adding a
