Experiences from migrating from FAST to Solr

[Morten Tvenning <mo...@finn.no>]

We'd like to share with the solr users a recent news item from http://sesat.no

Sesam has spent some three months migrating all its indexes from FAST to Solr+Lucene.
It was a joyful experience and allowed us to implement a number of improvements we never could under FAST.

We've written a review  on the whole process to help others wishing to take the same steps.

And we've released (under the LGPLv3 license) our own Sesat document processing framework that is compatible with the FAST document processing framework.
