I am new to Solr and Nutch. I was working through the tutorials and managed to get everything going up to making nutch work but not throwing the results at Solr yet.
>From everything that I have read you throw data at SOLR or SOLR cloud and it just does it's thing. I have yet to get into the details w/ SOLR yet but it seems that it is not meant to be a full solution stack...IE Nutch and SOLR together = accessible secure search engine? For instance with SOLR it looks like I am supposed to use/build a front end for it? I always assumed that these were back end components. But that is the problem, I have assumed. Is nutch supposed to be a solution that I should script against? I read guides that show how to setup and then people just say use a 'crontab'. Reading that everyone uses the power of these projects to create amazing things... What is available to manage these products? I get that SOLR indexes and Nutch spiders but is there something that controls Nutch in a smart manner or am I supposed to do this on my own via programming? Is there anything out there that finely controls nutch? Is there anything out there that configures nutch, or multiple nutch instances/profiles?
