Good morning! Great feedback from you all. This really helped a lot to get an impression of what is possible and what is not.
What is interesting to me are some detail questions. Let's assume Solr is possible to work on his own with distributed indexing, so that the client does not need to know anything about shards etc. What is interesting to me is: I. The scoring - Nutch uses special Scoring-implementations like the OPIC-algorithm. Can Solr use such improvements or do I need to reimplement it for Solr? II. The indexing. At the moment it really sounds like nutch would index the whole stuff and afterwards Solr does the job again. Regarding to indexing it would make sense, if Nutch computes things like the document boost (I am not sure, but I think the results of the OPIC-algorithm were added to each document as a boost) and sends an indexing-request to Solr afterwards. However, if Nutch indexes the page's content and Solr does it, too - I would waste some time, no? Is this the case or do I missunderstood something here? III. I am no Java-Expert. However, in a few month I will start to study computer-science at an university. Maybe I will find some literature to learn more about distributed software and how hashing needs to work, to do the job it should do, to make distributed indexing work. Maybe than I can help to implement this feature into Solr. On the other hand, not much is known about Solr's distributed search-concept and which classes are responsible for that - but such things one could ask on the mailing list, no? As far as I know Elastic Search already supports distributed indexing. Maybe one can reuse the responsible implementation for Solr. Btw: I think a great benefit of using Solr + Nutch would be to extend the search. I could create several Solr cores for different kinds of search - one for picture-search, one for video-search etc. *and* with the help of Nutch I can index some of the needed content in special directories. So Solr does not need to care about indexing a picture - Nutch already does the job.
