Hi devs, Recently I was evaluating if it is easily possible to integrate Sling into Solr using Sling Content Distributions and made some great progress here:
https://github.com/Buuhuu/sling-content-distribution-solr <https://github.com/Buuhuu/sling-content-distribution-solr> The repository explains the goal, the why and who also giving instructions on how to use it. To sum it up a bit: - SCD’s features map perfectly fine to the requirements when integrating into solr - It enables us to ingest content on business perspective (not technical perspective as with Oak’s internal indexes) - It’s flexible (thanks for that already :) Though there are some things that require a bit of attention to make it work out of the box. I opened a couple of issues for that: SLING-7357 SLING-7358 SLING-7359 SLING-7360 SLING-7364 And made proposals accordingly (not for the last one as I want to discuss that first) So my general question is: Is integrating Sling into Solr (or potentially any other kind of system that offers APIs to do so) a valid and envisaged use-case for Sling Content Distribution? And if so would it make sense to implement a module for lets say Solr as example directly in Sling? If so I would volunteer to propose something for that but I think flexibly integrating Sling as framework for any kind of content driven web applications into Solr as enterprise search application would be a nice feature to offer. Thanks for any kind of feedback, /Dirk
