solrb

[Erik Hatcher <er...@mac.com>]

I've committed some changes to solrb today.  Of note:

   * Solr::Request::Standard - I know the parameter handling is  
ugly.  It currently implements all of Solr's StandardRequestHandler  
except the highlighting parameters.  I'd love for this to be much  
cleaner.  If you have suggestions/patches I'm all for it!

   * examples/marc - I've implemented a very simple MARC importer.   
It's got mapping capabilities like this:

    mapping = {
      :id => Proc.new {|r| r['001'].value},
      :subject_genre_facet => ['650v', '655a'],
      :subject_era_facet => '650y',
      :title_text => '245a'
    }

   * I've simplified the Solr schema used by solrb quite dramatically  
in order to get a concrete start on a faceting front-end.  Right now  
the only fields the client should send are id, *_facet, and *_text.   
*_text gets copied into text, so it can be used as a general-purpose  
full-text search field.  *_facet fields are not tokenized.  I expect  
my changes to be a dramatic over-simplification and that this will  
evolve back up to handle other data types.  I am keen on seeing how  
clean we can keep the field naming conventions as these will be used  
for name mappings back and forth to a Ruby domain model eventually.

p.s. Ed and Will, you guys on solr-dev?  CC'd for good measure for now.
