SolrJ SolrInputDocument#addField doesn't throw an exception

[Leonardo Perez Pulido]

Hi all,
It would be nice if org.apache.solr.common.SolrInputDocument#addField throw
an exception when field name is 'id' and the method detect that the indexed
id is not unique, just like the post.jar tool.
I was confident that both had the same behavior, so...
Thanks.

Re: "What is Solr" in Google search results

[Leonardo Perez Pulido]

Hi,

I think there are many things to consider besides the 'normal' search you
did:

- First of all, Google search results vary. The search algorithm of google
changes all the time.
- Many different elements determine 'what' google scores as top docs in
search results, among them:
- The device you are searching on.
- Your search history.
- If you are logged into the google account.
- Your geographical location.
- The type of search you are doing, whether it is a term/keyword or a
phrase search.
- And if it is summer, or winter (joking I don't know nobody knows with
google).

For example, the same search phrase from my location returns a very
different result as top doc:

Apache *Solr* is an open source search platform built upon a Java library
called Lucene.

Which really is a definition of what Solr is.

So, in conclusion, if you want a better search engine than that: use Solr.
:)

Re: Solr client

[Leonardo Perez Pulido]

Hi,
Apart from take a look at the Solr's wiki, I think one of the main reasons
why these API's are all out dated is that Solr itself provides the 'API' to
many different languages in the form of output formats.

Maybe you know that the main protocol used in Solr for communication with
its clients is HTTP. Many (if not all) of today's programming languages
provides a mean to send request to Solr via HTTP. And Solr 'responses' to
every one of those languages via different available response formats.

By default there are response formats for: JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and
SolrJ (Java). All that response formats are first-class citizens in Solr.

Have a look:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/IntegratingSolr
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/client-apis.html

Regards.

How is the process to help fix typos in Solr's ref. guide? Can I merge it

Re: MongoDb vs Solr

[Leonardo Perez Pulido]

The main reason to chose Solr is the capacity of it has of return results
sorted by relevance. Solr returns documents in ranked order based on how
relevant each document is to the user's query.
Solr isn't a database, although it can 'store' data.
