There's an excellent book called "Code Reading" that could help you make sense of it.
My advice is to figure out first how to: (a) build using ant, outside of Eclipse or any IDE (b) run the tests using ant, outside of Eclipse or any IDE (c) start a server with custom configuration, outside of Eclipse or any IDE Then, you need to start dividing the code into different components in your mind - Solr, Lucene, Indexing, Query Process, Structures on Disk, Structures in memory (cache), etc. I wish I had time to follow my own advice - I know what to do, but have a couple of full-time commitments (work & family) On Mon, Apr 11, 2016 at 2:58 PM, gor joseph <gor.jos...@outlook.com> wrote: > > Good Morning , > > > > > I am a young engineer looking to join and contribute to the project > .However , I got stuck on the overwhelming docs and thousands of lines of > code . > > can anyone please give me advice on how to understand the project and > contribute effectively ,? > > > > > Thanks > > > > > > > Sincerely , > Joseph. > LinkedIn : https://fr.linkedin.com/in/josephgor > Mobile : +33 630733572 > Skype :gor.jos...@outlook.com > E-mail :gor.jos...@outlook.com
