JavaZone 2009 - Solr:Search at the Speed of Light
In this session Erik will launch Solr and index various types of content including database, file system rich documents (PDF, Word, HTML, etc), XML, CSV, Atom feeds, and perhaps others. Various ways to interact with and build upon Solr's capabilities will be demonstrated, including several user interface starting points and pragmatic real world operations such as scheduling indexing operations and scaling for load and corpus size. We'll see within the live demonstrations Solr's popular features:
- full-text search
- faceting
- highlighting
- more-like-this
- spell checking / did-you-mean
- API from Java, Ruby, command-line
