embedding solr in a webapp?

Hi, We are looking at running read-only solr nodes embedded in our webapp nodes. This would give us the additional features of solr over lucene, but would keep it in memory and reduce the overhead of http/xml transport of results. Looks like we would just create a request handler and call h

Re: Solr now used on Discogs.com

Can you expand on this a bit? "Main search engine" would be the search feature, but not browsing/category listing? Are you using Solr for all data storage and search? Or a RDBMS? If so, what is the split? Cool site! --Joachim Kevin Lewandowski wrote: I just wanted to say thanks to the

SolrCore as Singleton?

Is there a good reason for implementing SolrCore as a Singleton? We are experimenting with running Solr as a Spring service embedded in our app. Since it is a Singleton we cannot have more than one index (not currently a problem, but could be). I note the comment: // Singleton for now...

relational design in solr?

I am trying to integrate solr search results with results from a rdbms query. It's working ok, but fairly complicated due to large size of the results from the database, and many different sort requirements. I know that solr/lucene was not designed to intelligently handle multiple document t

Re: relational design in solr?

Chris, I think what I am trying to do is actually much simpler than what you are talking about here. I do plan on returning document ids and retrieving full entity data from the database- solr would just be used for the search, not for results display. The problem is that some data cannot be

Re: Simple Faceted Searching out of the box

I think you will find that this architecture is quite common. What commercial packages provide (remember you are getting this for free!) are the tools for managing the dynamic export of data out of your database into the full-text search engine. Solr provides a very easy way to do this, but ye

How about a sortOrder field? Then you can sort by "sortOrder, score". If you want to promote a book that might not be in the result set, you'd OR the featured books in with the query. --Joachim Otis Gospodnetic wrote: Hello, I have a situation where I want certain documents to appear at t

Re: [Newbie] Solr Setup

If you have deployed solr as a root application, tomcat may be getting confused with the /admin/ url, thinking that it is the tomcat administration app. If you have it deployed, I would rename the /admin/ app to be /tadmin/ or something to distinguish from the solr /admin/ directory. --Joach
