Nutch does not, at this moment, support some form of consistent hashing to select an appropriate shard. It would be nice if someone could file an issue in Nutch' Jira to add sharding support to it, perhaps someone with a better understanding and more experience with Solr's distributed search than i have at the moment. I can't point Nutch' developers to the right piece of documentation on this one ;) -----Original message----- From: Otis Gospodnetic <otis_gospodne...@yahoo.com> Sent: Wed 16-06-2010 21:03 To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org; Subject: Re: Solr and Nutch/Droids - to use or not to use?
Hi Mitch, Solr can do distributed search, so it can definitely handle indices that can't fit on a single server without sharding. What I think *might* be the case that the Nutch indexer that sends docs to Solr might not be capable of sending documents to multiple Solr cores/shards. If that is the case, I think you need to move this to the Nutch user/dev list and see how to feed multiple Solr indices/cores/shards with Nutch data.
