Add reference to Packt's Solr book.
-----------------------------------
Key: SOLR-1378
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1378
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: David Smiley
I've attached news of the Solr update. It includes an image under the left nav
area, and a news item with the same image. The text is as follows:
David Smiley and Eric Pugh are proud to introduce the first book on Solr, "Solr
1.4 Enterprise Search Server" from Packt Publishing.
This book is a comprehensive reference guide for nearly every feature Solr has
to offer. It serves the reader right from initiation to development to
deployment. It also comes with complete running examples to demonstrate its use
and show how to integrate it with other languages and frameworks.
To keep this interesting and realistic, it uses a large open source set of
metadata about artists, releases, and tracks courtesy of the MusicBrainz.org
project. Using this data as a testing ground for Solr, you will learn how to
import this data in various ways from CSV to XML to database access. You will
then learn how to search this data in a myriad of ways, including Solr's rich
query syntax, "boosting" match scores based on record data and other means,
about searching across multiple fields with different boosts, getting facets on
the results, auto-complete user queries, spell-correcting searches,
highlighting queried text in search results, and so on.
After this thorough tour, you'll see working examples of integrating a variety
of technologies with Solr such as Java, JavaScript, Drupal, Ruby, PHP, and
Python.
Finally, this book covers various deployment considerations to include indexing
strategies and performance-oriented configuration that will enable you to scale
Solr to meet the needs of a high-volume site.
