Solr and nutch, for reading a nutch index

[bbrown <bb...@botspiritcompany.com>]

I couldn't tell if this was asked before.  But I want to perform a nutch crawl
without any solr plugin which will simply write to some index directory.  And
then ideally I would like to use solr for searching?  I am assuming this is
possible?

I think you should keep an eye on the versions of Lucene library used by both Nutch + Solr - differences at this layer *could* make them incompatible - but I am not an expert...

yes, this is quite possible. You need to have a solr schema that  
mimics the nutch schema, see sami's solrindexer for an example. Once  
you've got that schema, simply set the data dir in your solrconfig to  
the nutch index location and you'll be set.
