Great thanks. I manage a newspaper website in Maine USA with about 400,000-500,000 documents/database records (if not more) and I am going to try and create a solr search engine for the site. We'll see how it goes. I've been using a "bastardized" lucene search for my site up to now, but this looks much better.

It's most efficient to make a "builder" application that reads from the database, constructs XML documents *in memory* and sends them to the Solr server. Multiple threads/connections open to the Solr server will speed up indexing and hide any request-response latency of individual adds. We don't have it yet, but there really should be a simple Java client library that creates the XML add commands and handles sending them to the server. Also on the "todo" list is indexing directly from a SQL database w/o the user having to write any code except select statements. -Yonik
