In the previous entry, we tried to cover what we saw at the first day of Lucene Eurocon 2011 conference. However, from our point of view, the second day was the more important one, due to the fact that this was the day we had our talk. But let’s start from the beginning.
explain.solr.pl: Status
During the Lucene Eurocon 2011 conference we gave a talk about a tool that will enable you to analyze Solr search results. We promised, that the public version of the tool will be released soon. We would like to ensure that we are getting close to that moment. Right now we are focusing on the following things:
Lucene Eurocon 2011 – day one
As we wrote a few days ago we are back from this year Lucene Eurocon, which took place in Barcelona. Despite the fact that the videos will be available shortly, we decided to wrote something about those presentations we attended to.
Another Lucene Eurocon is a history
Another Lucene Eurocon is a history. That was a very intense two days, where the basic problem was: which of the three lectures go to. Sometimes the choice was very difficult, the only hope is that this year all the presentations were recorded and will soon be available on the web.
“Car sale application” – solr.ReversedWildcardFilter – let’s optimize wildcard queries (part 8)
“Car sale application” users started to use wildard queries more and more often. This fact forced us to think about wildcard queries optimization. solr.ReversedWildcardFilter comes to rescue us.
Near future plans
Surely you noticed a decreased activity of solr.pl. But this is not related to preparations for winter sleep. We are not bored also. The reason is the hot period in relation to the project deadline, which we perform within our professional work. In addition, the rest of our free time is occupied by two subjects which are mentioned below.
Lucene and Solr 3.4
Today, we can enjoy another version of Lucene and Solr – release numbered 3.4. In the newest version there are a few functionalities worth looking at.
Optimization – document cache
Data Import Handler – import from Solr XML files
So far, in previous articles, we looked at the import data from SQL databases. Today it’s time to import from XML files.
“Car sale application”– Result Grouping, two additional parameters description (part 7)
In the last “car sale application” related post we have described the result grouping functionality. Today I would like to show you how easily we can determine the groups amount and how to sort documents within every group.
