Thanks for your quick response.
This brings me to another question. As far as I know Nutch can take
care of crawling as well as indexing. Then why go through the hassle
of crawling through Nutch and integrating it into Solr?
I found Solr's caching and maintenance easier to use than nutch's. But
that's just me.
Another question I have, Solr provides the search results in XML
format, any ready made tools to convert them directly to web pages for
visitors to see?
yep.. it's called XSLT. most modern browsers can do the transform on the
client side.
otherwise there is some server side tools (cocoon I think does this) to
do the transform on the server before sending it out.

Hi Manoharam.
we use nutch to do the crawl, and have used sami's patch of nutch
(http://blog.foofactory.fi/2007/02/online-indexing-integrating-nutch-with.html
) to have it integrate with Solr. It works quite well for our needs.
If you are concerned with the speed, Solr also has a CSV upload
facility, which you might be able to use to upload the data into solr
that way, but we haven't found the HTTP Post speed to be an issue for
us.
