help on caching and index files of Solr

[Sagar Khetkade <sa...@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

    I have a hands on both Lucene and Solr. The difference between
these two search engines are explained to some extend, still having
some query on these. I am in need to know why 

1. Want some information on the difference between caching of Lucene and Solr index files.

2. As Solr is built on Lucene, is the index file of Solr similar to that of Lucene.

3. Is there any provision in Solr to index the complete repository/directory as that of Lucene.

Thanks in advance.

Solr is an application that uses the Lucene Java library -- everything 
that exists in Lucene exists in Solr, Solr just adds on top of it, the raw 
Lucene index is in the data directory, Lucene's (minimal) caching is still 
used, additional Solr specific caching is added on top (see the wiki for 
more info)

BTW: If you have more questions please start a new thread...

Thread Hijacking on Mailing Lists

When starting a new discussion on a mailing list, please do not reply to 
an existing message, instead start a fresh email.  Even if you change the 
subject line of your email, other mail headers still track which thread 
you replied to and your question is "hidden" in that thread and gets less 
attention.   It makes following discussions in the mailing list archives 
particularly difficult.
