Hi everybody, if you use 'HBase' and 'Solr' in one sentence, Lily might be worth checking out. It's a scalable data repository layering a high-level (i.e. easy-to-use) data model + API on top of HBase, and consistent, reliable maintenance of a configurable Solr index (which can optionally be sharded). So you get the benefit of a high-scale data store with flexible searching. Best of all, Lily is open source - Apache license.
We've just released Lily 1.1 and you can read all about it on www.lilyproject.org. Notable release features are: - complex field types (nested records and more) - conditional updates - a Java test framework, also allowing you to run the entire Lily stack (Hadoop/HBase/Zookeeper/Solr/Lily) in a single JVM - a new Java Builder API (we do REST as well) - various performance improvements with regards to parallellization - server-side plugins or decorators - for enterprise customers: a Whirr-based cluster installer You can read more at http://bit.ly/uCIxV7 Thanks, Steven. -- Steven Noels http://outerthought.org/ Scalable Smart Data Makers of Lily
