Hello, I've taken JAVA programming classes and have had to withdraw because I haven't any JAVA programming or any programming experience - and for the most part, the professors geared the course to those who have had it. I've decided that I'm not going to let it rest and am now reading a very

Re: [CODE4LIB] Getting started with SOLR

One of the biggest bangs you can get out of indexing is to multi- thread it pretty heavily. Solr can accept lots of simultaneous connections. Folks worried about the HTTP communication are typically those that are new to Solr and see that as a bottleneck without measuring. Those that have done t
