Thanks Erik and Jeff for the info on SolrSharp. Running java on our servers is an undesirable option for us, but I understand the difficulty of porting Solr. Since Solr's indexing/searching API is a SOAP/Web Service, it doesn't matter where it runs.
Solr is all-round fantastic solution for a search engine. I'll definitely consider using it on future projects. Coming back to Lucene, where can I receive some guidance and instruction on what to port from Java to C#? I'm eager to contribute, but still not sure what needs doing :( We use Lucene.Net 2.0.0.4 in production, but I'd like to spend some of my spare time on Lucene.Net for a couple of reasons. Hopefully I'll learn a new thing or two about the lucene architecture and most importantly I want a shot at writing thorough test classes. -Vijay Santhanam -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Rodenburg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 3 August 2007 1:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Solr for .NET Thanks Erik. Vijay - porting Solr to C# would be rather extensive, on top of the Lucene-to-Lucene.Net port. Additionally, as Solr development progresses, dependencies get built into the Solr codebase that take advantage of development progress in java-based Lucene. Not to dissuade you from taking on the task, just to be aware of some of the complexities that could underly such an endeavor. Take a look at the SolrSharp library if you have the cycles. cheers, jeff r. On 8/2/07, Erik Hatcher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Why port Solr? It is a "web service".
