Apache Solr Configuration

Setting up an example Solr instance is not a hard task, at least when setting up the simplest configuration. The simplest way is to run the example provided with the Solr distribution, that shows how to use the embedded Jetty servlet container.

In this article by Rafal Kuc, author of Apache Solr 4 Cookbook , we will cover the following topics:

• Running Solr on Jetty

• Running Solr on Apache Tomcat

• Installing a standalone ZooKeeper

• Clustering your data

• Choosing the right directory implementation

• Configuring spellchecker to not use its own index

• Solr cache configuration

• How to fetch and index web pages

We have a simple configuration, simple index structure described by the schema.xml file, and we can run indexing.

In this article you'll see how to configure and use the more advanced Solr modules; you'll see how to run Solr in different containers and how to prepare your configuration to different requirements. You will also learn how to set up a new SolrCloud cluster and migrate your current configuration to the one supporting all the features of SolrCloud. Finally, you will learn how to configure Solr cache to meet your needs and how to pre-sort your Solr indexes to be able to use early query termination techniques efficiently.
