Re: Solr with LAMP/ XAMPP/ WAMP/MAMP

2014-11-23 Thread Anurag Sharma
Solr clients has always been in my thoughts.
On the nature of usage the clients can be categorised in multiple types:
- web: js, ruby, python
- mobile: Objective C, Swift, C#
- other: C++,  Scala, perl, php

Opening another thread to get more attention and opinion.

I believe this has been announced as one of the focus items at the
Lucene/Solr Revolution. Including the call to the current framework
others to consider donating their libraries.

The first non-Java target, I think, was C, though I have no further details.

I think that it would be nice to have a mailing list specifically for
the client-library maintainers, so they could all discuss impact of
things like schema XML format change on their libraries.

I believe that any high-level integration work like that would pull a
large amount of focus away from Solr itself.  There are lots of people
inventing that wheel.  The nature of the work produces a highly
customized wheel that requires further customization or a complete
rewrite to work with a different project.

There are at least three Solr client packages for PHP, which will let a
LAMP project integrate with Solr.  In no particular order, these are the
ones I know about:

https://code.google.com/p/solr-php-client/
http://pecl.php.net/package/solr
http://www.solarium-project.org/

Solr supports importing from a database, which can be MySQL, but better
results can be obtained by writing an indexing client yourself, where
you can manipulate the data in any way you choose.  That could be in PHP
like the rest of the stack being discussed here, or it could be written
in another language.

I *do* think it might be a good idea for us to write and maintain
supported Solr clients for languages beyond Java -- work at a low level
of integration instead of a high level.  I personally don't have the
kind of expertise required, but the expertise is out there.

The others might not agree with this, and I won't stand in the way of
the idea you've described if others want to pursue it.

Thanks,
Shawn

Solr with LAMP/ XAMPP/ WAMP/MAMP

2014-11-19 Thread Anurag Sharma
Seeing the growing need of Solr in the web development, how do we perceive
building a Solr integrated package with *AMP's. The integrated package
installs Solr with Apache, PHP, MySQL and also give option of
configuring/controlling Solr using the common Admin interface.

Can it become a go to package for web development community?
