Fwd: Re: Text index in Apache Jena 3.3.0 [solr returned?]

[Andy Seaborne <an...@apache.org>]

It does not look too hard to add a "jena-text-solr" module as a 
2nd-class citizen, a non-release-blocking module ("legacy" does not 
really capture this idea for me). Probably under/not tested by the build 
unless the embedded Solr works out.  It looks like testing of Solr was 
basic, just the assembler, since support for embedded solr was removed.

Thoughts?

It does highlight the need for a way to add jars to Fuseki

http://jena.apache.org/documentation/notes/jena-repack.html

because the war file form does not use a classpaths and "-jar" => "-cp" 
isn't an obvious trick for the standalone server.

Hi Sorin,

How have you been using jena-text with solr?  It does not look too hard 
to add a new module for solr4j support and I've sketched this out.

jena-text-es is the similar module for Elasticsearch - we have moved to 
a style where there are etrxnesion modules around the core jena-text.

If so, would you (or anyone else) be able to help test it because I 
don't think that any committers use solr currently and so don't have 
depth of experience. I certainly don't.

     Andy
