Re: Poor tool detail on lucene.apache.org/solr/ site

[Gora Mohanty]

Dear Tom,

Speaking as a Solr user who has not even been very active on this list for
a while,though we continue to use Solr, I am a little surprised to hear the
sentiment in your message. In my experience, anything that I needed to know
about Solr, from getting started with the basics to much more complicated
requirements were  answered by the online documentation, Google searches,
and queries on this mailing list. Have yet to buy a Solr book, and have not
seen anyone pushing people in this mailing list to buy a book. I think that
books serve a different purpose, and are often useful, so not sure why they
would not be referenced in the available resources.

Further, among the several open-source mailing lists that I subscribe to ,
this list  has been among the friendliest, and most welcoming to
people.There are several regulars, including many Solr / Lucene committers,
that take the time to help people.

Maybe your criticism would be more constructive, and help  improve the
documentation if you would point out specifics of where it falls short.
What did you try, and what issues did you have that were not addressed by
the documentation? Did you try following up on this mailing list?

Gora

Here is a generic answer: Yes :-)

Solr is widely used as a search engine in many contexts, and can
probably do what you want, but it is best to give more details about
your specific needs. However, please direct such questions to the Solr
user list, rather than to the dev list, which is meant for discussion

Sadly, I am not yet actively involved in Solr development, except as a

This question is better addressed to the user list, rather than

What you want should not be very difficult, but it is probably
easier to get started with Solr rather than using Lucene directly.
Off the top of my head, you could add a token filter, possibly
along with a custom analyser. This would convert input for both
indexing and querying into the respective hashes. Please see
http://wiki.apache.org/solr
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters

I would also add that comparing hashes is not necessarily a
good idea: What benefit does it get you, and what happens in

 Why don't we have a demo instance running on a server with the latest

 And once in a day or so, we can clean up the index and re-index the default
 sets of documents. Because people could add some dummy documents to test
 their features. or we can disable updates so that people won't mess up the
 sample index.

 This way, latest features can be demoed with sample data.

 Your thoughts or does this already exists somewhere?

I like the idea, but Solr is so vast, and people's use
cases vary so much that I think it would be difficult
to provide a comprehensive overview. It would also
be a headache to maintain, especially if one is to allow
users to add to the index, or tinker with the configuration.

The default setup with Jetty, included in the codebase
is usually a good starting point. Maybe that ought to be
promoted more, as people seem to ask basic questions
on this list that are already addressed there.

 My main argument is really that your imagination can run wild. I can't even 
 predict all the good things that can come out of owning this layer of the 
 app. The same way we couldn't predict all the changes that would come with 
 the freedom of flexible indexing. I also don't think we need to drop the war 
 right away - the first step is a mindset change. Start calling this an 
 implementation detail in version whatever. It's hard to say who will have the 
 time to do what work here when - but removing limits will allow many changes 
 that are hard to impossible in a webapp world.

 Help, I'm stuck in a webapp and I can't get out!

Completely agreed: As I said, I have seen the error of my ways :-)

People arguing for this change are right, and your point about a
mindset change is important. Being largely an end-user of Solr,
for me it took the arguments put forward in this thread to make
me realise the importance of such a mindset change. IMHO, the
intermediate step of deprecation is also important so that users
who do view Solr as a webapp, manage multiple installations
from such a perspective, and might not be subscribed to the dev
list are given reasonable warning.

Sorry, are you talking about using one Solr index vs. several, or

think that separate Solr indexes will be a significant improvement,
though one might use a separate Solr core for each index, rather
than a separate Solr instance.

We will soon be faced with a similar situation, and at the moment

with separate Solr cores. We will be doing some benchmarking on
