Re: Solr on Amazon EC2

[Stephane Gamard]

Hi Rajesh,  Rule of thumb when it comes to Solr and the cloud is run your own instance. There are so many difference (subtle but could be painful) between Solr releases that it is best that you know which you are using.  Solr is also package to work directly out of the box (using the jetty starter: start.jar). My deco would be to load up a generic Ubuntu install, download the solar binary distribution and start from there. When you have sold running the way you want, make an image (snapshot) and that will be your Solr base image. -- Stephane Gamard On May 6, 2013 at May 6, 2013, Rajesh Nikam (rajeshni...@gmail.com) wrote: Hello, I am looking into how to do document classification for categorization of html documents. I see Solr/Lucene + MoreLikeThis that suits to find similar documents for given document. I am able to do classification using Lucene + MoreLikeThis example. Then I was looking for how to host Solr on Amazon EC2. I see bitnami provide AMI images for the same. I see there are 4000+ AMI IDs to select from. I am not sure which to use ? Could you please let me know which is correct image to use in this case ? Or how to create new image with tomcat + Solr and save it for future usage ? Thanks, Rajesh
