I haven't looked at Solr Flare at all.. but was wondering if it is
possible to use some of the work done in solr flare with non-Ruby
applications? For example, could the tagging and faceting be
extracted more so it's not Ruby specific and handled in the solr
java request handler?
Well, at this point there is no tagging in Flare, so we can address
that when the time comes - certainly it will leverage Solr for the
heavy lifting. As for faceting, I'm not sure what you mean... Solr
supports faceting just fine, and Flare displays paints a pretty
picture around it. Can you propose a more concrete example of where
you think something Flare does should be pushed back into Solr? I'm
all for that, and in fact we will certainly see both Solr and Flare
evolve to work more cooperatively.
