I am mentoring in this year's Google Summer of Code (first timer!). I know there is a couple of us from Solr project, but I also noticed some mentors from upstream/downstream projects.
I am proposing that we put at least a couple of integration projects to improve/upgrade Solr integration with both upstream (Tika) and downstream (Nutch/Camel/NiFi) projects. And maybe even propose some new projects, such as Solr backend engine for Zeppelin (so we could have a Python Notebook-like interface to Solr, not just via JDBC bridge, we do already). I am not sure whose JIRAs they should go into, but the project idea tag spans all ASF projects, so it is more important to figure out mentor-level agreement first. In any case, to push this forward, if we get several students all working on Solr, I could run a Solr bootcamp class for students, mentors, and whoever else in the sister communities wants to participate and get more familiar with Solr. We could also run a parallel mini-list (or Gitter room or whatever) where multiple new implementors of Solr integrations can hang out together and progress together. Regards, Alex. P.s. I am also working on redoing Solr examples (starting from DIH ones at: SOLR-10311). If anybody has comments on what kind of examples would make integrations easier, I am very receptive. P.p.s. Feel free to forward this to the other mailing lists for other relevant sister Apache communities. ---- http://www.solr-start.com/ - Resources for Solr users, new and experienced --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
