Hello:
I'm working on incorporating Solr into a SaaS based life sciences semantic
search project. This will be released in about six months. I'm trying to
determine which version of Solr makes the most sense. When going to the Solr
download page, there are 1.3.0, 1.4.0, and 1.4.1. I've been using 1.4.1 while
going through some examples in my Packt book ("Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search
Server").
But, I also see that Solr 3.1 and 4.0 are in the works. According to:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aroadmap-panel
there is a high degree of progress on both of those releases; including a slew
of bug fixes, new features, performance enhancements etc. Should I be making
use of one of the newer versions? The hierarchical faceting seems like it
could be quite useful. Are there any guesses on when either 3.1 or 4.0 will be
officially released?
So far, 1.4.1 has been good. But I'm unable to get SolrJ to work due to the
'javabin' version mismatch. I'm using the 1.4.1 version of SolrJ, but I always
get an HTTP response code of 200, but the return entity is simply a null byte,
which does not match the version number of 1 defined in Solr common. Anyway, I
can follow up on that issue if 1.4.1 is still the most appropriate version to
use these days. Otherwise, I'll try again with whatever version you suggest.
Thanks a lot!
Jeff
