------------------------------------------
Summary: Apache Solr backend for Apache Sling
Key: SLING-2795
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2795
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Samples
Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz
This is a proposal for GSoC 2013: create a Java/OSGi backend that allows Sling
to use an Apache Solr server for content storage.
Recent additions to the Sling resource management support using any existing
content store as a backend for content storage, and creating an example
ResourceProvider [1] that uses Apache Solr as its backend would be a good
example of that.
This support for arbitrary content stores is relatively new in Sling, so we
might discover some missing features or incomplete implementations along the
way. The student will need to interact closely with the Sling community to
discuss any improvements needed to reach this project's goals.
As Solr is probably not well suited for storing large binaries, a hybrid store
will probably be needed, where "small" data items are stored directly in Solr
and large, binary values stored on a filesystem-based structure like the
Jackrabbit DataStore.
Advanced Java skills are required, as is good knowledge of HTTP protocols and
clients and knowledge of automated testing tools to be able to validate the
results.
