Solr for .NET

Hi Lucenenites,

 

Has anyone heard  of any C# Solr ports?

 

I'd like to continue coding a C# port like this in my spare time.

 

Alternatively, if a Lucene.NET developer could give me some instructions on
what to port, I'd be happy to contribute to Lucene.Net. I'm not sure where
to begin.

Thanks Erik and Jeff for the info on SolrSharp. 

Running java on our servers is an undesirable option for us, but I
understand the difficulty of porting Solr. Since Solr's indexing/searching
API is a SOAP/Web Service, it doesn't matter where it runs. 

Solr is all-round fantastic solution for a search engine. I'll definitely
consider using it on future projects.

Coming back to Lucene, where can I receive some guidance and instruction on
what to port from Java to C#? I'm eager to contribute, but still not sure
what needs doing :(

We use Lucene.Net 2.0.0.4 in production, but I'd like to spend some of my
spare time on Lucene.Net for a couple of reasons. Hopefully I'll learn a new
thing or two about the lucene architecture and most importantly I want a
shot at writing thorough test classes.

Thanks Erik.

Vijay - porting Solr to C# would be rather extensive, on top of the
Lucene-to-Lucene.Net port.  Additionally, as Solr development progresses,
dependencies get built into the Solr codebase that take advantage of
development progress in java-based Lucene.  Not to dissuade you from taking
on the task, just to be aware of some of the complexities that could underly
such an endeavor.

Take a look at the SolrSharp library if you have the cycles.

cheers,
jeff r.

Why port Solr?   It is a "web service".  Use Solr as-is and interface  
with it through the SolrSharp API!
