Read moreSolrCloud and query execution control
With the release of Solr 7.0 and introduction of new replica types, in addition to the defa?ult NRT type the question appeared – can we control the queries and where they are executed? Can we tell Solr to execute the queries only on the PULL replicas or give TLOG replicas a priority? Let’s check that out.
Read moreSolrCloud – write and read tolerance
SolrCloud similar to most of the distributed systems is designed with some rules in mind. There are also rules that each distributed system is subject to. For example the CAP theorem tells that a system can’t achieve availability, data consistency and network partition split tolerance at the same time – you can have two out of three at most.

Read moreSolr Text Tagger – Quick Look into Solr 7.4
We haven’t looked into any Solr functionalities on Solr.pl for a while so it is time to look into one of the new features – the text tagger. It works on the basis of Solr index and is able to check documents sent to a new handler and return occurrences of names with offsets and other metadata that we added to Solr index. However keep in mind that Solr Text Tagger doesn’t do any kind of natural language processing, so no what we will give it, that is what we can expect to get back.
