[Mahout] Integration with Solr

[Adam Estrada <es...@gmail.com>]

Has anyone integrated Mahout with Solr? I know that Carrot2 is part of the
core build but the docs say that it's not very good for very large indexes.
Anyone have thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Adam

I don't know much of it, but I know Grant Ingersoll posted about that:

Thanks for the reply, Tommaso! I would like to see tighter integration like
in the way Nutch integrates with Solr. There is a single param that you set
which points to the Solr instance. My interest in Mahout is with it's
abitlity to handle large data and find frequency, co-location of data,
clustering, etc...All the algorithms that are in the core build are great
and I am just now wrapping my head around how to use them all.

Hello Adam,
I've managed to create a small POC of integrating Mahout with Solr for a
clustering task, do you want to use it for clustering only or possibly for
other purposes/algorithms?
More generally speaking, I think it'd be nice if Solr could be extended with
a proper API for integrating clustering engines in it so that one can plug
and exchange engines flawlessly (just need an Adapter).
