Solr in a highly memory constrained environment (ie. VPS) - stupid idea?

2008-03-03 Thread Micah Wedemeyer
Hi, I've used Solr a little at work where we have our own hardware with all the memory we want. However, I would also like to use Solr on a small-ish website that I run off of a VPS with 512MB of RAM. I tried this (untuned) for a while, and Tomcat/Solr would just grab up all my memory

escaping characters and security

2007-11-06 Thread Micah Wedemeyer
Are there any security risks to passing a query directly to Solr without doing any sort of escaping? I am using URL encoding, so '' and such are being encoded into their %XX equivalents. Still, should I be doing anything else? Is there such a thing as a Solr-injection attack? Thanks, Micah

queries can't do updates, so passing on raw user queries is OK. Solr errors for bad query syntax are not pretty, so you will want to catch those and print a real error message. wunder On 11/6/07 8:52 AM, Micah Wedemeyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Are there any security risks to passing a query
