Hi Jon, You will need to write a plugin
You will need custom Query parser and an Update Handler depending on what you are doing. The implementation of an Update Handler or Update Request Processor is not recommended because it is considered to be advanced. Take a look at the following links for more information http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPlugins http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateRequestProcessor http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/update/UpdateHandler.html http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/search/QParserPlugin.html http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/update/processor/UpdateRequestProcessor.html On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 2:43 PM, Jon Bodner <jon.bod...@it.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm interested in using Solr with a custom Lucene Filter (like the one > described in section 6.4.1 of the Lucene In Action, Second Edition book). > I'd like to filter search results from a Lucene index against information > stored in a relational database.
