Hello All,
It looks like all my tests with solr have been very conclusive: it's the way to go. Sadly enough, me nor our sysadmin have any experience with setting up tomcat, jetty, orion, <insert your servlet here>. We have plenty of experience with other servers like lighttpd and apache, but that doesn't particularly help. What would be the easiest roadmap to set up Solr in our live environment and would that easy roadmap (whatever it is) be good enough for us (given the data below)? Tech data: There are 60K documents (and growing slowly at << 100/day) and about 20K-30K searches per day (growing faster than the #documents, but not that fast either). Solr will have to share a (quad xeon, 12GB of RAM, SAS disks) with Postgresql. In all my tests (replaying stored searches) I had 0 cache misses and between 0.7 and 0.99 hit rate for all 3 caches. I will use plenty of faceting to create various tag clouds in various places. - Bram -- http://www.freesound.org http://www.smartelectronix.com http://www.musicdsp.org
