Hi, I've recently posted a message on this list about the ways of implementing a 'federated search' (a search on multiple indices) whith Solr. Starting from the answers I got plus informations from the mailing list archives and the Solr Wiki, I've planned to test three configurations :
- one sole index for all applications (each one interrogate the index its own way) - one index and one schema.xml per application (each index managed by a Core of the MultiCore system) - one index per application and a sole schema.xml for them all (each 'shard' also managed individually by a Solr Core) What do you think of those possibilities ? Have you tested and/or compared them yourself ? Secondly, as I am currently developping a portal for federated search, I'm getting interested in the clustering engine Carrot² (http://project.carrot2.org) ; as it is described as being able to read results produced by Solr, I was wondering if anyone of you Solr users had already used them together ? Thanks, -- Grégoire Neuville
