Hi, I am somehow new to Solr. While reading through documents/resources, I have come across 'Searcher' term many times. I am able to roughly undestand, that whenever we fire any query, we are actually invoking a searcher. This searcher searches through the index and returns results.
But I am not able to fully grasp its meaning. I refered a previous post as well - http://www.nabble.com/what-is-searcher-td15448682.html#a15448682. I have also read through - http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_3_0/api/org/apache/lucene/search/Searcher.html#Searcher() But I am not able fully appreciate it. I want to understand Searcher in a practical scenario - We use Data Import feature of Solr to index database tables. Now, I send a query(*:*) through Solr Admin console for searching. And I get back search result. In this whole process, I have following questions - 1. What is the significance of Searcher in this case? 2. When is Searcher invoked? 3. Who invokes Searher? 4. Where it is Stored? 5. When I send another query (manu:abc), will a new Searcher created? 6. How is searcher auto-warmed in this case? Can anyone please direct me to some tutorial/resource for this? Thanks, Manu -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/What-do-we-mean-by-Searcher--tp21436737p21436737.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
