Anyone using Solr spatial from trunk?

[Jay Hill <ja...@gmail.com>]

I was wondering about the production readiness of the new-in-trunk spatial
functionality. Is anyone using this in a production environment?

that's pretty much correct.  the huge commercial scale of the project
dictates that we need as much system stability as possible from the outset;
thus the tools we are use must be established, community-tested and trusted
versions.  we also noticed that some of the regular non-geospatial queries
seemed to run slightly slower than on 1.4, with only a fraction of the total
amount of records we'd be searching in production (but that wasn't the main
reason for our decision).

i would perhaps use it for a much smaller [private] project where speed,
scaling and reliability weren't such critical issues.

future proofing was also a consideration:

*"With all the changes currently occurring with Solr, I would go so far as
to say that users should continue to use Solr 1.4. However, if you need
access to one of the many new features introduced in Solr 1.5+ or Lucene
3.x, then given Solr 3.1 a shot, and report back your experiences."  *(from

So let me understand what you said. You went through the trouble to
implement a geospatial
solution using Solr 1.5, it worked really well. You saw no signs of
instability, but decided not to use it anyway?

Did you put it through a routine of tests and witness some stability
problem? Or just guessing it had them?

I'm just curious the reasoning behind your comment.

i used the 1.5 build a few weeks ago, implemented the geospatial
functionality and it worked really well.

however due to the unknown quantity in terms of stability (and the uncertain
future of 1.5) etc. we decided not to use it in production.

I've been experimenting with it, but haven't quite gotten it to work as
yet.
