Ideally you use scripts that can use JVM/Java - in this way you can always use the latest SolrJ client library but also other libraries that are relevant (eg Tika for unstructured content). This does not have to be Java directly but can be based also on Scala or JVM script languages, such as Groovy.
There are also wrappers for Python etc, but those may not always leverage the latest version of the library. > Am 08.07.2019 um 14:23 schrieb Joseph_Tucker <joseph.tuc...@homehardware.ca>: > > Thanks again. > > I guess I'll have to start researching how to create such custom indexing > scripts and determine which language would be best based on the environment > I'm using (Azure in this case). > > Appreciate the help greatly > > > > > Charlie Hull-3 wrote >>> On 05/07/2019 14:33, Joseph_Tucker wrote: >>> Thanks for your help / suggestion. >>> >>> I'm not sure I completely follow in this case. >>> SolrJ looks like a method to allow Java applications to talk to Solr, or >>> any >>> other third party application would simply be a communication method >>> between >>> Solr and the language of your choosing. >>> >>> I guess what I'm after is, how would using SolrJ improve performance when >>> indexing? >> >> It's not just about improving performance (although DIH is single >> threaded, so you could obtain a marked indexing performance gain using a >> client such as SolrJ).
