Looking for a good Text on Solr

I am looking for a good book to read from and get a better understanding of solr.

 On amazon, all the books on Solr have average rating (which I supposed no one tried them or bothered to post a review) but this one: "Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search Server by David Smiley, Eric Pugh" has a pretty decent review. But the current version of Solr is 3.5, so should I proceed with David Smiley's book or is there a better text available.

Thanks,
Shiv Deepak

There is an update to that book for Solr 3:

http://www.packtpub.com/apache-solr-3-enterprise-search-server/book

I actually bought it recently, but haven't looked at it yet.

Good luck.
Brendan

Hi Shiv, 

For me, a combination of the following has helped me learn a lot about Solr in a short period of time:

* Apache Solr 3 Enterprise Search Server: http://www.packtpub.com/apache-solr-3-enterprise-search-server/book
* Solr Wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/
* Pretty much every single post on this blog: http://www.hathitrust.org/blogs/large-scale-search

Hope this helps,
