Re: Need help Migrating to Solr
I've done a fair number of migrations, but it's kind of hard to give generic advice on it. Specific questions as you dig in would be best. I'd probably, at least, just start with a simple schema that models most of your data and get Solr up and ingesting it. Then run some queries against it in your browser (no need for writing client side code yet) then go from there. -Grant On Jan 12, 2010, at 11:42 PM, Abin Mathew wrote: Hi I am new to the solr technology.

Re: Need help Migrating to Solr
Hi, since we did some kind of migration in a similar situation in the recent past, I might add some (hopefully helpful) remarks: If You use a Lucene-based application right now, You might already have an idea of which fields You want to store in Solr. Since You already do analyzing of fields, it should be easy to identify the necessary analyzers and filter-chains to be configured in the fiel-type part of the schema. Once you got the basic definition of the schema, You can start loading content into Solr. You can inspect the results using the admin web gui. I've found the ad hoc query interface and the analysis facility very helpful to get an idea of the inner workings. Of course that is only the very beginning. You should realize that Solr offers a very powerful mechanism to configure the way how queries are handled (using query handlers ...). The book Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search Server is a very good first step to understanding what You can do with Solr (refer to Solr's home page for the complete citation).

RE: Need help Migrating to Solr
I don't have experience with migrating, but you should consider using the example schema.xml in the distro as a starting basis for creating your schema. -Original Message- From: Abin Mathew [mailto:abin.mat...@toostep.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 8:42 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Need help Migrating to Solr Hi I am new to the solr technology.
