Hi there, I'm currently in the process of learning more about Solr, and how I can implement it into my project.
Since my database is very large and complex, I'm looking into the way of keeping my documents current in Solr. I have read the pages about DIH, and find it usefull, but I may need more logic to filter out documents or manipulate them. In order to use DIH, I'd need to run huge queries and joins... Now, I see several ways of going forward: - customize DIH with a new classes so I can read directly from my RDBMS (will be slow) - let the webapp build an XML, and simply take that as a datasource instead of the RDBMS (less queries, and can use memcached for the heavy stuff) - let the webapp instruct Solr to add, update or remove a document as changes occur in real time instead of the DIH delta queries. For loading a fresh situation, I'll still need to find a solution like the ones above. (webapp drives solr directly, instead of DIH polling) Is there some general advice you can give? I understand every app is different..but this must be an issue many have considered before. Kind regards Wouter Samaey
