Hi,
since we did some kind of migration in a similar situation in the
recent
past, I might add some (hopefully helpful) remarks:
If You use a Lucene-based application right now, You might already
have
an idea of which fields You want to store in Solr. Since You already
do
analyzing of fields, it should be easy to identify the necessary
analyzers
and filter-chains to be configured in the fiel-type part of the
schema.
Once you got the basic definition of the schema, You can start loading
content into Solr. You can inspect the results using the admin web
gui.
I've found the ad hoc query interface and the analysis facility very
helpful to get an idea of the inner workings.
Of course that is only the very beginning. You should realize that
Solr
offers a very powerful mechanism to configure the way how queries are
handled (using query handlers ...). The book "Solr 1.4 Enterprise
Search
Server" is a very good first step to understanding what You can do
with
Solr (refer to Solr's home page for the complete citation).

I've done a fair number of migrations, but it's kind of hard to
give generic advice on it. Specific questions as you dig in would
be best. I'd probably, at least, just start with a simple schema
that models most of your data and get Solr up and ingesting it.
Then run some queries against it in your browser (no need for
writing client side code yet) then go from there.

Hi
I am new to the solr technology. We have been using lucene for
handling searching in our web application www.toostep.com which is
a knowledge sharing platform developed in java using Spring MVC
architecture and iBatis as the persistance framework. Now that the
application is getting very complex we have decided to implement
Solr technology over lucene. Anyone having expertise in this area
please give me some guidelines on where to start off and how to
form the schema for Solr.
Thanks and Regards
