Do I have to look for maxBooleanClauses when using filters ?
One of the configuration variables we can find in the solrconfig.xml file is maxBooleanClauses, which specifies the maximum number of boolean clauses that can be combined in a single query. The question is, do I have to worry about it when using filters in Solr ? Let’s try to answer that question without getting into Lucene and Solr source code.
Solr 4.0: DocTransformers first look
In todays entry we will look at the next feature that will come with version 4.0 of Apache Solr. We will look at the functionality which enables us to modify the fields in Solr result list.
Apache Lucene and Solr 3.5
Lucene Eurocon 2011 – day two
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.
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
Deep paging problem
Imagine the following problem – we have an application that expects Solr to return the results sorted on the basis of some field. Those results will be than paged in the GUI. However, if the person using the GUI application immediately selects the tenth, twentieth, or fiftieth page of search results there is a problem – the wait time. Is there anything we can do about this? Yes, we can help Solr a bit.
