Solr replication, HAproxy and data management

SolrQuery and escaping special characters

Hi, I am using Solr v1.4 and SolrJ on the client side. I am not sure how SolrJ behaves regarding "escaping" special characters [1] in a query string. SolrJ does URL encoding of the query string it sends to Solr. Do I need to escape special characters [1] when I construct a SolrQuery object or n

Hi, thank you for your reply. What you suggested is a good idea and I am probably going to follow it. However, I'd like to hear a comment on the approach of doing the parsing using Lucene and then constructing a SolrQuery from a Lucene Query: QueryParser parser = new QueryParser("", analyzer)

Can I use per field analyzers and dynamic fields?

Hi, I have an existing Lucene application which I want to port to Solr. A scenario I need to support requires me to use dynamic fields with Solr, since users can add new fields at runtime. At the same time, the existing Lucene application is using a PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper in order to use differe

Hi, I do not have an answer to your questions. But, I have the same issue/problem you have. It would be good if Solr community would agree and share their approach for benchmarking Solr. Indeed, it would be good to have a benchmark for "information retrieval" systems. AFIK there isn't one. :-/ T
