Working with the Solr HDFS connector


Apache Solr can utilize HDFS for indexing and storing its indices on the Hadoop system. It does not utilize a MapReduce-based framework for indexing. The following diagram shows the interaction pattern between Solr and HDFS. You can read more details about Apache Hadoop at http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.4.0/.

Let's understand how this can be done.

  1. To start with, the first and most important task is getting Apache Hadoop set up on your machine (proxy node configuration), or setting up a Hadoop cluster. You can download the latest Hadoop tarball or zip from http://hadoop.apache.org. The newer generation Hadoop uses advanced MapReduce (also known as YARN).

  2. Based on the requirement, you can set up a single node (Documentation: http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r<version>/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/SingleCluster.html) or a cluster (Documentation: http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r<version>/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/ClusterSetup.html).

  3. Typically...
