Hi team,
We have a business case like the below one. There are nearly 150 GB of docs(pdf/ppt/word/xl/msg) files which are in stored in a N/w Path as of now. To implement text search on these , we are planning to use solr search in these. Listed below is the plan. 1)Using a high configuration Windows server(16 GB RAM , 1 TB Disk etc) 2)Keep all the files in this server. 3)Index all the above docs to solr server(Solr installed in the same windows server). Will use solr post command to post documents to this server. 4)Using a Web application user can further add or remove files to/from shared path in this server. 5)Web UI to search the text from these docs. and display the file Names. User can click and download the files Listed are the queries what we have. 1)Since we cannot index fields here, (as search is across all text in the docs of various types. User can search for any text and it might be in XL or in DOC or in PPT or in .MSG files), whether querying(Rest API from the Web ) the search data will have any performance hit? 2)Is it a right decision to keep the physical files in the Shared folder of Server itself(as a shared drive) instead of storing it in a DB or any other storage? Regards, MS
