Okay, it’s hot off the e-presses: Solr 4.x Deep Dive, Early Access Release #3 is now available for purchase and download as an e-book for $9.99 on Lulu.com at:
http://www.lulu.com/shop/jack-krupansky/solr-4x-deep-dive-early-access-release-1/ebook/product-21079719.html (That link says “1”, but it apparently correctly redirects to EAR #3.) My recent blog posts over the past two weeks detailed the changes from EAR#2. Besides more cleanup, the focus was on features of Solr 4.4, including update processors and token filters. I still haven’t finished 4.4 coverage, but this is progress. See: http://basetechnology.blogspot.com/ The next EAR will be in approximately two weeks, contents TBD. If you have purchased EAR#1 or #2, there is no need to rush out and pick up EAR#3. I mean, the technical content changes were relatively modest (68 new pages), and EAR#4 will be out in another two weeks anyway. That said, EAR#3 is a significant improvement over EAR#1 and EAR#2. -- Jack Krupansky
