Just a general question, but the little I know about both projects, it looks like Solr builds on Lucene as well. To access Lucene via Solr you basically query via "raw" HTTP, correct? (Zend_Http_Client?)
So is direct access to Lucene always slow, or is the PHP layer (Zend_Search_Lucene) "wrapping" Lucene the bottleneck? And if direct access is slow as well, how does Solr manage to do it faster? ;-) Curious, Till On Sat, Nov 8, 2008 at 1:56 PM, Hakan Şenol Ensari <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Very anecdotally: > Some months back, I played around with ZSL, importing a reasonably large > database of books -- some eight million rows, with title, author, publisher, > publication date, and so on.
