This isn't the first time a global news organisation has used Solr to index leaked data, unsurprisingly - for creating something fast & quietly, open source is a natural choice.

Hi all,

I just wanted to repost the following by Chris Mattman on the TIKA list:

If you have been following the news you’ve seen the Panama papers and how
the world’s rich and elite have been storing all their money offshore to
hide it. Two of the ASF’s key technologies were used in uncovering that
story and showing the world what was going on: Apache Tika and Apache Solr.

Solr was used for making the Terabytes of Panama Papers available to
journalists. The preprocessing of the documents for indexing was done with
Tika (maybe through the contrib/extraction module).

Here is the article by Forbes about that:
