[jira] [Commented] (NUTCH-717) Make Nutch Solr integration easier

["Eric Pugh (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-717?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13068172#comment-13068172 ] 

Eric Pugh commented on NUTCH-717:
---------------------------------

After having had a chance to work through the updated tutorial: http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/RunningNutchAndSolr#A4._Setup_Solr_for_search I think the Solr step is a bit awkward as well.   One of the reasons Solr has seen great adoption is that the /example app is so well thought out, and easy to get started.   

With Nutch being decoupled from Solr, but depending on Solr, I wonder if there is an issue of a user downloading nutch, and then downloading Solr, and the versions being out of whack?  Like if Nutch depends on Solr 3.3, but Solr 4 has been released.   

I could see taking a version of Solr and checking it in.  Strip it down to JUST what Nutch needs, and then you could include in the Nutch version a nice Velocity based UI for just browsing through the data that Nutch returns.

> Erik Hatcher proposed we should provide a full solr config dir to be used with Nutch-Solr. Now we only provide index schema. It would be considerably easier to setup nutch-solr if we provided the whole conf dir that you could use with solr like:
> java -Dsolr.solr.home=<Nutch's Solr Home> -jar start.jar
