I'd like to commit this to the Solr repository. Any objections?
Once committed, folks will be able to use "script/plugin
install ..." to install the Ruby side of things, and using a binary
distribution of Solr's example application and a custom solr/conf
directory (just for schema.xml) they'd be up and running quite
quickly. If ok to commit, what directory should I put things
under? How about just "ruby"?
Ok, /client/ruby it is. I'll get this committed in the next day or so.
I have to admit that the stuff Seth did with Searchable (linked to
from <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolRuby>) is very well done so
hopefully he can work with us to perhaps integrate that work into
what lives in Solr's repository. Having the Searchable abstraction
is interesting, but it might be a bit limiting in terms of leveraging
fancier return values from Solr, like the facets and highlighting -
or maybe it's just an unnecessary abstraction for those always
working with Solr. I like it though, and will certainly borrow ideas
from it on how to do slick stuff with Ruby.
While I'm at it, I'd be happy to commit the Java client into /client/
java. I'll check the status of that contribution when I can.
