Overview of this book

<p>Solr Apache is a widely popular open source enterprise search server that delivers powerful search and faceted navigation features—features that are elusive with databases. Solr supports complex search criteria, faceting, result highlighting, query-completion, query spell-checking, relevancy tuning, geospatial searches, and much more.</p> <p>This book is a comprehensive resource for just about everything Solr has to offer, and it will take you from first exposure to development and deployment in no time. Even if you wish to use Solr 5, you should find the information to be just as applicable due to Solr's high regard for backward compatibility. The book includes some useful information specific to Solr 5.</p>

Summary


We briefly covered a wide variety of the issues that surround taking a Solr configuration that works in a development environment and getting it ready for the rigors of a production environment. Solr's modular nature and stripped down focus on search allows it to be compatible with a broad variety of deployment platforms. Solr offers a wealth of monitoring options, from log files to HTTP request logs to JMX options. Nonetheless, for a really robust solution, you must define what the key performance metrics are that concern you, and then implement automated solutions for tracking them.

Assuming you haven't already built your application, look back at Chapter 9, Integrating Solr, to see how easily you can integrate Solr search through various client libraries. Otherwise, just enjoy the stability and performance of the most popular search engine, helping your users find what they are looking for!
