Upgrade solr

[solrnovice <ma...@yahoo.com>]

hi , We are trying to use LucidImagination ( lucidimagination.com) for our
search, it comes with a version of SOLR. When i use geodist(), or pseudo
columns, they dont seem to be working.

Now my question is, can i upgrade just the solr under lucid imagination
install? Has anybody tried that, if so can you please share some
information. I downloaded SOLR 4 from the nightly build, but the
lucidimagination, schema.xml, doesnt work in that solr, as its closely tied
to Lucid. I had it working after i removed references to Lucid's
classes...etc. But I lose some of Lucid's datatypes like "comma-seperated"
analyzers...etc.  If anybody tried upgrading the Solr to the latest version,
please share your thoughts.  


thanks
sN

: stable that version is ) . I want to make the geodist work, but with a
: stable release. Looks like the geodist doesnt work in prior release of solr.

To be clear: geodist has been arround in Solr since 3.1, the question is 
about getting the result of the geodist function as a pseduo-field in the 
response, which is something new in the 4x trunk code base.

As noted on the wiki, a work arround for 3x versions of Solr is to use the 
"function" as the only scoring portion of the query, and put other query 
clauses in "fq" params so they don't change the score (so the "score" of 
each document is the "distance")

Hi SN,

The latest stable Solr release is Solr 3.3, with 3.4 coming this month. Solr
4.0 and Lucene 4.0 are both not yet stable, as we are still changing APIs
and optimizing things like the index format, algorithms. You can use Solr
4.0 snapshot, if you really need the new features and report back what you
find out. But you need to know, that we might change index formats from one
day to the other, so after an upgrade to a later trunk version, your indexes
may no longer be readable and throw scary Exceptions when reading indexes.
Upgrading 3.x index formats to 4.0 unstable is always possible, just not
4.0-old to 4.0-new, so be prepared to reindex your stuff after upgrade.
Otherwise, Lucene/Solr 4.0 seems quite stable if you don't upgrade.

The Solr version Lucid Imagination ships with LucidWorks, also uses the
"unstable" 4.0 version internally, but they guarantee, that you can upgrade
between different LucidWorks versions (they provide an index upgrade tool).

About the Geo features: I am not familiar with the current status of Solr's
Geo support. Maybe somebody else can answer, if the mentioned query type
works with the stable version 3.x.

hi Uwe, i havent heard from Lucid, so can you please let me know what is the
latest stable version of SOLR. On apache's site its mentioned that SOLR 4.0
is not ready, but the nightly build is available ( but i dont know how
stable that version is ) . I want to make the geodist work, but with a
stable release. Looks like the geodist doesnt work in prior release of solr.
When i mean, it doesnt work, i mean returning as a pseudo column, even if i
do not perform a longitude / latitude query.

I had the geodist returned when i did a City search by using SOLR4 revision
from the nightly build. What is the latest Release candidate for SOLR. Can 
you please point me to the right download site? 


thanks

Hi,

Please ask this question to Lucid Imagination support staff. The Lucene/Solr
community is not responsible for releases of LucidWorks Enterprise and we
don't know which versions of Lucene/Solr they use.
