Hi Alan, In recent versions of DSpace (4.x and above), Discovery does *both* Browse and Search. So, those "Browse By" options are now handled by Discovery. These days, if you install DSpace will default options, Lucene is not used at all, and everything runs through Discovery (with Apache Solr) behind it.
The plan going forward is that Discovery will be the search/browse system. The old Lucene / DB-based search and browse system is deprecated and will be removed in the near future. - Tim On 6/10/2015 5:22 AM, Alan Orth wrote: > Hi, > > Discovery's great but "Browse by" does some things that we like, such as > being able to paginate the results (compare browse[0] with discovery[1])! > > The problem is that "Browse by" is terrible because it still uses > Lucene, which means we have to maintain parallel lists of indexes for > both Lucene and Discovery, and Lucene is a systems admin nightmare > because you have to shut down Tomcat for 15 or 20 minutes while you init > the indexes after adding new metadata! > > I guess I'm curious what the long-term plan is for the "Browse by" > functionality in DSpace? > > Thanks, > > [0] Browse by: https://cgspace.cgiar.org/browse?type=ilrisubject > [1] Filter by: https://cgspace.cgiar.org/search-filter?field=ilrisubject > > -- > Alan Orth > alan.o...@gmail.com <mailto:alan.o...@gmail.com> > https://alaninkenya.org > https://mjanja.ch > "In heaven all the interesting people are missing." -Friedrich Nietzsche > GPG public key ID: 0x8cb0d0acb5cd81ec209c6cdfbd1a0e09c2f836c0 > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > _______________________________________________ > DSpace-tech mailing list > DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech > List Etiquette: > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech List Etiquette: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette
