As Solr's Streaming Expression support grows more statistical and data analysis functionality, I thought it would be useful to have first-class support in R.
To this end, I've begun an R package for this here: https://github.com/jdyer1/R-solr-stream At this point, this new package allows users to execute a streaming expression and get it into an R data.frame. Likewise an R object can be streamed to solr. This has obvious overlaps with the existing "rsolr" package. However, the existing package does not, best I can tell, support streaming expressions. Also, we already can have support via the jdbc driver. My question is whether or not an effort along these lines is worthwhile, and if so, what future direction it should take. I appreciate any feedback. James Dyer Ingram Content Group
