For those Tomcat fans out there, we've released HDS 4.8.0_01, based on Solr 4.8.0 of course. HDS is pretty much just Apache Solr, with the addition of a Tomcat based server.
Download: http://heliosearch.com/heliosearch-distribution-for-solr/ HDS details: - includes a pre-configured (threads, logging, connection settings, message sizes, etc) and tested Tomcat based Solr server in the "server" directory - start scripts can be run from anywhere, and allow passing JVM args on command line (just like jetty, so it makes it easier to use) - start scripts work around known JVM bugs - start scripts allow setting port from command line, and default stop port based off of http port to make it easy to run multiple servers on a single box) - the "server" directory has been kept clean but stuffing all of tomcat under the "server/tc" directory Getting started: $ cd server $ bin/startup.sh To start on a different port (e.g. 7574): $ cd server $ bin/startup.sh -Dhttp.port=7574 To shut down: $ cd server $ bin/shutdown.sh -Dhttp.port=7574 The scripts even accept -Djetty.port=7574 to make it easier to cut-n-paste from start examples using jetty. The "example" directory is still there too, so you can still run the jetty based server if you want. -Yonik http://heliosearch.org - solve Solr GC pauses with off-heap filters and fieldcache
