Okay, it's hot off the e-presses: my updated book Solr 4.x Deep Dive, Early
Access Release #5 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-21120181.html
(That link says "release-1", but it apparently correctly redirects to EAR
#5.)
Summary of changes:
* Coverage of Real-time Get component
* Coverage of Terms Component
* Coverage of Term Vectors Component
* Coverage of Highlighting Component
* Round a decimal number. I added a JavaScript script for the
StatelessScriptUpdate processor which takes an input field, a number of
decimal digits (default is zero), an output field (defaults to replacing the
input field), and an optional flag for whether the rounded decimal number
should have its type changed to integer (default is to stay as a float
decimal.) Handles multivalued fields.
* Append a field onto another field. This is just a use of the Clone and
Concat update processors, using various delimiters. Also an example that
uses the Ignore Field update processor to remove the source field after it
has been appended.
* Map country code to continent code. This JavaScript script for the
StatelessScriptUpdate processor can do the mapping in-place or output to
another field. Option for case of output string (default is lower case).
Handles multivalued fields. Unmappable input values are preserved as-is.
Total of 281 pages of additional content since EAR#4.

the book.
