Hi,
does anyone of the maillinglist users use solr as an API to avoid database
queries? I know that this depends on the type of data. Imagine you have
something like Quora "Q&A" System, which is most just "text". If I would
embed some of these "Q&A" into my personal site, and would invoke the Quroa
API, I guess, they would do some database operations.
Would it be possible to call the Quora API that internally calls solr and
stream the results back to my website?
This should be highly configurable, but the advantage would be that it
would unburden the databases.
There would be something like a three layer architecture: Client -> |
API (is doing some authorization/authentication checks) -> | solr
Solr -> | API (may be filter the data, remove unofficial
data, etc. ) -> | Client
I'm not really familiar with that kind of architecture, and therefore does
not know, if it makes any sense.
Any comments are appreciated!
Best regards,
Ramo
