Solr: Not Just For Text Anymore
Ness’s Chief Technology Officer, Moshe Kranc, has authored an article for DZone that illustrates the importance and uses of Solr. In the article titled, “Solr: Not Just For Text Anymore”, Kranc explains the evolution of how Solr has gone from the “poor man’s Google” into a viable option for real-time Big Data analytics. He writes, “Today, Solr is not just for text search anymore. It is a high-speed, high-availability SQL/NOSQL database that can perform aggregations and other complex calculations in real time. This is not just theory – Ness has customers who use Solr in production to provide real-time aggregation and time-series analysis for hundreds of simultaneous users.”
Moshe also notes that there are newer products such as ElasticSearch that compete neck-in-neck with Solr.
