Best practice setup in multi server environment?
Hi,
I am currently working on switching from MySQL fulltext search to Lucene.
The indexing and searching already works pretty well. I have the following
environment:
1 web server running PHP
1 MySQL server (which will still be used, but not for fulltext queries)
1 server running Lucene
The Lucene index will be created out of the MySQL data.
My question: How can I send a query from the webserver using PHP to the
Lucene server and get my list of result IDs back?
I suppose one needs some kind of daemon?
Or would if be feasible to setup a Tomcat webserver on the Lucene server
that handles the queries?
Best regards,
Jens

: Have a look at Solr, which sounds like the ideal tool for the job:

I agree, Solr sounds perfect for your needs (and i'm not just saying that
because I'm a Solr committer)
* you update a Solr index by HTTP POSTing simple xml "documents" - so
your indexing code can be written in any language you want, and run on
whatever machinemakes sense for your installation.
* you query a Solr index by HTTP GETing simple xml resuults - so your
query code client can be a PHP app, or anything else thta can
fetch/parse xml documents over HTTP.
* if your documents have a unique identifier, Solr will make sure that
any "adds" you send it with a document id it already knows about get
replaced (no duplicates) so you can just POST data to it anytime you
modify your MySQL DB - no need to worry baout wether it's an add or an
update.
* Solr's schema will let you tell it which fields are
integers, floats, strings, dates, etc... and will make sure range
queries or sorting on those fields works properly without you having to
worry about special formatting. the Schema also lets you say which
fields you wnat to be searchable, which ones should be stored, which
analyzer to use for which fields, etc... so you don't have to write any
javacode to maintain your index -- just configuration.
(okay .. i think that's enough pimping for one email ... head on over to
the "solr-user <a> lucene.apache.org" mailing list if you have any
questions)
