In Detail

Implementing different search engines on web products is a mandate these days. Apache Solr is a robust search engine, but simply implementing Apache Solr and forgetting about it is not a good idea, especially when you have to fight for the search ranking of your web product. In such a scenario, you need to keep monitoring, administrating, and optimizing your Solr to retain your ranking.

Administrating Solr is a practical, hands-on guide. This book will provide you with a number of clear, step-by-step exercises and some advanced concepts which will help you administrate, monitor, and optimize Solr using Drupal and associated scripts. Administrating Solr will also provide you with a solid grounding on how you can use Apache Solr with Drupal.

Administrating Solr starts with an overview of Apache Solr and the installation process to get you familiar with Solr. It then gradually moves on to discuss the mysteries that make Solr flexible enough to render appropriate search results in different scenarios. This book will take you through clear and practical concepts that will help you monitor, administrate, and optimize your Solr appropriately using both scripts and tools. This book will also teach you ways to query your search and methods to keep your Solr healthy and well maintained. With this book, you will learn how to effectively implement and optimize Solr using Drupal.

What you will learn from this book

  • Install Solr and handle requests and responses
  • Utilize various search types like faceted, geospatial, and distributed search
  • Monitor metrics like stats.jsp, Solr with JMX, and password-based authentication both for single-user and multi-user environments
  • Back up your Solr using the Solr Replication Handler and configure your Solr logs
  • Create scripts to configure indexer and slave servers
  • Understand and create business rules using Drools

A fast-paced, example-based guide to learning how to administrate, monitor, and optimize Apache Solr.

Who this book is written for

Preface

Solr is a popular and robust open source enterprise search platform from Apache Lucene. Solr is Java-based and runs as a standalone search server within a servlet container such as Tomcat or Jetty. It is built of Lucene Java search library as the core, which is primarily used for full-text indexing and searching. Additionally, Solr core consists of REST-like HTML/XML and JSON APIs, which makes it easy to be virtually compatible with any programming and/or scripting language. Solr is extremely scalable and its external configuration allows you to use it efficiently without any Java coding. Moreover, due to its extensive plugin architecture, you can even customize it as and when required.

Solr's salient features include robust full-text search, faceted search, real-time indexing, clustering, document (Word, PDF, and so on) handling, and geospacial search. Reliability, scalability, and fault tolerance capabilities make Solr even more demanding to the developers, especially to SEO and DevOp professionals.

What this book covers

, Searching data , covers the steps to install Solr, how request and response are handled, ways to query your Solr for most relevant search results, and how to use faceting, geospacial, and distributed search.

, Monitoring Solr , covers how we can monitor Solr, what performance metrics we should be interested in, and how to monitor Solr by using various monitoring tools such as Opsview, New Relic, and Solr Performance Monitoring.

, Managing Solr , covers basic scripts of managing your Solr, scripts to configure both temporary and permanent Solr logs on Tomcat and Jetty, backup your Solr, and collection distribution scripts which include configuration of scripts, SSH, and Rsyncd setup, and how to manage Solr with Drupal 7.
