What gsearch could do is receiving a gfindObjects operation from you and passing it on to solr by sending a solr http request with the query. This is the extra web service call that I mentioned yesterday, because you might just as well send your http request directly to solr instead of through gsearch. -Gert > -----Original Message----- > From: ajs6f [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 3:56 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Fedora-commons-users] GSearch with remote SOLR instance? > > It would avoid the dependency on a mock local index, and it would > permit those who wish to host their Solr instance(s) remotely from > their GSearch instance to still benefit from GSearch's search > functionality.
