Apache Solr

Kommentare: Great, better than sharepoint search. Customizable, extensibiliy with load balancers are great, Clustering, Document sharding are great and wonderful features. Overall, this is a great product .

Vorteile: Delta query, Quick retrieval, Faster indexing, Schema definitions, Synonyms the features are endless. it almost behaves as a Database. Can integrate with any database i.e any data source. Document sharding and clustering are excellent features.

Nachteile: I doubt that the product will extend its life span as the cloud can retrieve terabytes of data in a minute. What is missing is a single grid widget or tool that apache solr can provide that can search and display like 6 to 10 million records. A need for an administrator console to retrieve information in a columnar format that can be queried is missing. Eg: Datagrid, JQGrid or a datatable like inbuild javascript library based grids.

Vorteile: Apache Solr is a Java based, advanced search index. You can index your data in the form of documents and then query it as per your needs. The Query speed is extremely fast, It provides response only in a few milli seconds even for a complex data query. It enables you to have catalog searching, and type ahead search in your application. Suitable for data, that needs frequent searching and fetching.

Nachteile: For a practical use, you will always need to keep your database and solr indexes in sync, which requires careful designing of application.

Vorteile: It is very flexible and customize-able which makes it very easy to integrate-able with other components in the development stack.

Nachteile: the query language could be a bit confusing at first. If the collection is large, it often takes a long time to index the data.

Vorteile: Apache Solr provides you with a search indexer. You can store data in it. Its query speed is very very fast like say in milliseconds. You can provide results for query, while user is still typing the query. Very Suitable for real-time search requirements. It stores data in documents and you can query these document to search matched documents for as per search criteria.

Nachteile: Once Apache Solr was best Search Indexer, now it competitor Elastic Search is providing same features or even better than Apache Solr.

Kommentare: It is fine for e-commerce - no complaints there. I would like to see more enhancements to help users integrate with more third party tools, though.

Vorteile: We use it solely for e-commerce and it lends itself well to those needs, with suitable filtering options to offer an Amazon-like experience for visitors wanting to 'drill' into categories, etc.

Nachteile: Unfortunately, it doesn't easily integrate with other tools we use, at least not in our experience. For that reason, we are considering alternatives that would perhaps be more comprehensive.
