Hey Brendan!
Thanks for your response.
I don't know much about couch, but if you to return json from solr
(which I think couch would understand) you can do that with wt=json
in the query string when querying solr. See here for more details:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolJSON
Actually I'm looking for the other way around. I'm trying to get Solr to
index my CouchDB. CouchDB works with a REST API and returns plaintext JSON.
So I'm looking to get JSON into Solr and not out of :)
On the CouchDB wiki I've found a reference to a project "CouchDB Solr2"
which seemed to do exactly what I'm trying to do (full text indexing and
searching with CouchDB), but it is no longer maintained as of January
2009 and cannot be found anymore on github. Maybe it's because there is
now a simple way to do it in Solr and I just haven't found it yet ;)
